Planning for Operations SKA Engineering Meeting 2015 Prof. Gary Davis 10th November 2015 The Operations Planning Team Corrie Taljaard Engineering Operations Antonio Chrysostomou Science Operations Gary Davis Director The Operations Planning Team Director General Head of Project Director of Ops Planning team team Outline • Previous work • The big issues • Current work – Operations concept – Operations plan – Data flow • Future work Previous Work Concept of Operations • • Operations Working Group (chaired by Douglas Bock) Rev 02 issued May 2015 Previous Work Operational Principles Approved 25th July 2013 Amended 29th October 2013 Previous Work Operational Principles 3. The purpose of the SKA Observatory will be to enable scientists to pursue world-leading scientific programmes, to organise and conduct improvements and upgrades of the SKA telescopes in order to provide and maintain facilities that are at the forefront of science and technology, and to ensure the protection of the SKA sites for the SKA and future radio telescopes. Previous Work Operational Principles 6. The expected lifetime of the SKA Observatory is 50 years. Previous Work Access Principles • • • • • based on scientific merit single time-allocation process proportional to contribution limited access for non-member states data products to be made globally available after a suitable proprietary period …policy to be defined in detail The Big Issues • • • • • • • • • Late start to operations planning Structure of the organisation Hosting arrangements in AUS/RSA Role of Regional Centres Challenge of “Big Data” Reliability & maintenance Power Operations budget Precursors: integration of MeerKAT and operational experience Current Work Operational Model • support both large, multi-year programmes (KSPs) and conventional PI projects • 24-hour operation; service observing; automated, flexible observing queue • “observing factory” • ToOs and transients; subarrays and commensality • high level of user support • on-the-fly maintenance and repair • RFI constraints; minimal staff on site Current Work Logistics Engineering • availability requirement: >95% capacity for >90% of the time • modelling of failure modes and reliability • to inform maintenance plan and staffing requirements • RAM report and FMECA reports are CDR deliverables • two new draft documents to be issued imminently: – Support Concept – RAM Allocations RAM/ILS Modelling and Maintenance Planning Wed 13:30 Current Work Operations Concept Document • to describe operational model • to specify additional Level-1 requirements from the operations perspective • draft to be issued soon for comment – input from design consortia welcome • Operations Concept Review planned Q1 2016 • approval of new requirements through ECP process Current Work Operations Plan – Contents: • • • • Operational model Structure of the organisation Staffing Budget – For presentation to the Board along with Construction Proposal (Jan 2018) Structure of the Organisation • Unique challenge • globally-distributed project • return on investment • no perfect solution • Status • discussed at Board in July • going to Board next week for approval • Context • steady-state operations • SKA1 designed, built, commissioned and fully operational (2023 on current planning) • assume IGO is in place Structure of the Organisation • Some relevant principles: • The SKA is one observatory and must present a single, seamless interface to the user community. – the “one observatory” model • The structure should be designed to optimise the operation. • Duplication of staff should be minimised. Common functions should be based at the GHQ. • CSIRO and SKA-SA will have built up experience of operating telescopes on the two sites; SKA must retain access to this experience.

The SKA Observatory will calibrate SKA data and make science-ready data and ancillary products available to the users. 21. The SKA Observatory will provide an archive with a data management system to support dataintensive astronomy. 22. The SKA Observatory will provide user support and tools to enable exploitation of SKA data. Current Work Data Flow • construction project capped at €650M • scope of work includes generation and storage of data products in AUS/RSA • it does not include delivery of data to users or further processing • essential for full science exploitation of the SKA • Data Flow Advisory Panel set up by Board in July • will report back to Board in April 2016 • ToR distributed to consortia Current Work • Panel members: Australia Sarah Pearce Peter Quinn Canada Chris Loken China Meng Zhao India Niruj Mohan Italy Sergio Molinari Netherlands & Sweden Michael Wise New Zealand Melanie Johnston-Hollitt South Africa UK SKA Office Jasper Horrell Russ Taylor Paul Alexander Gary Davis Miles Deegan Ian Bird External Jack Dongarra Brian Glendenning Future Work • Operations & Access Working Group • to develop input to IGO negotiations • led by Sarah Pearce, CSIRO • Science commissioning • Early Science • Best practice 2016
