Requirement : The calibration lamps must support a 5-year on-orbit mission (but the goal is 8 years).
COS contains two internal Platinum-Neon (PtNe) wavelength calibration (wavecal) lamps, and two flatfield Deuterium lamps on the calibration platform.

• Based upon George Hartig’s analysis of the FOS (PtCrNe) and Dennis Ebbets’ recollection of GHRS (PtNe) lamp performance, concludes that the COS PtNe lamps should degrade at 15% per Amp-Hour (A-Hr).
• After 8 A-Hr, estimates that the COS lamp output would be down to 27% of its original output.
• Concludes that COS has 2x8 = 16 Amp-Hrs of lifetime wavecal exposure available, a safety margin of 2:1 (Based upon 1000 orbits/yr x 5 yrs x 6 min/orbit.)
• As pointed out by Ken Sembach on December 15, 2005. New Estimates by Florian Kerber, et al. (http://www.stecf.org/newsletter/stecf-nl-39.pdf) indicate GHRS degradations on the order of 25% / (50 hrs * 10mA) = 50% per Amp-Hr.

DRM Scenarios(Design Reference Mission)
Science Operations Requirements Document (OP-01)
Lifetime. The wavelength calibration subsystem shall be designed to provide the required data for the entire lifetime of the COS instrument. The COS shall be designed for a minimum of five years on-orbit operating life and a minimum of ten years calendar life (CEI Sec. 5.1.2). The pre-launch testing and calibration may represent the equivalent of one year of operations. The Design Reference Mission estimates that COS may be prime instrument for up to 10,000 orbits, with as many as four wavelength calibration exposures per orbit. The DRM also estimates that approximately 500-1000 individual targets will be observed with COS over its lifetime. Each on-board target acquisition may require at least one exposure of the calibration lamp. The above estimates imply approximately 40,000 wavelength calibration exposures. If each exposure requires one lamp to be on for 3 minutes the requirement is for 120,000 minutes (2000 hours) of use. These estimates imply approximately 40,000 turn-on cycles.
10,000 orbits x 4 wavecals/orbit x 3 min/wavecal x 0.01 Amp = 20 A-Hr10,000 orbits x 6 wavecal mins/orbit x 0.01 Amp = 10 A-Hr, 5 A-Hr per lamp

• Each observation fully corrected:•Background subtracted•FUV : Thermally and Geometrically Corrected
• Each extracted spectrum cross-correlated to the first observation to ensure only identical spectral regions were tracked.
• ALL COS exposures examined to determine actual A-Hr used for each lamp (included those observed in pseudo TAGFLASH).

•Don’t Panic
• The lamp degradation look problematic, but are measured over very small baselines (0.033-0.113 A-Hr)
• We are in the process of organizing an in-depth lamp analysis with non-flight lamps to determine the actual lifetime/degradation rates of COS PtNe lamps
• Use shorter exposure times for each wavecal (1,000 cts)
• Use all NUV stripes in cross-correlation
• Strive to keep lamp usage to < 3 min/orbit

• Separate wavelength calibration templates are needed for each lamp (PtNe #1, PtNe #2). The lamps are unique, have different usage, and follow different optical paths
• Wavelength calibration templates MUST evolve with time (at least annually). The line ratios of the lamps change with usage history and current setting
• Minimize the wavecal local rate check exposure times (1 min x 1,000 orbits x 0.01 mA x 5yrs = 1 mA = -25%) (6 sec x 1,000 orbits x 0.01 mA x 5yrs = 0.1 mA = -2.5%)

• Investigate whether unique exposure times are needed for (some) NUV FP-SPLIT positions (1 step = 50 p)
• Investigate whether the lamps can be run at the ‘LOW’ current settings (3mA for PtNe#1, 6mA for PtNe#6) to conserve lifetime (Thermal Vac II, Appendix C)
