Blanket Model since the AO

Currently the top of the thermal blanket is modeled as 32.7 mm thick. All dimensions are available from the RM, for example GR v9r1 https://www.slac.stanford.edu/www-glast-dev/cgi/xmlParams?sessionId=1470ea98f085564ae73de7ac067b43fa&cpId=6219#NADDimPrim
From which we see that the top is 1756.34 mm x 1756.34 mm x 32.7 mm

Constants for the sides:

NADBlanketSideY_l	1756.34 mm	length in long (X) dimension of Y-sides of blanket
NADBlanketSideX_l	1690.94 mm	length in long (Y) dimension of X-sides of blanket, shorter than Y-sides because Y-sides cover corners
NADBlanketSideZ	1075.11 mm	height of a side piece of the blanket: approx. height of ACD side tiles + height of cal

The current material definition is:

Distance between MMS/MLI and ACD Tiles

Please refer to Figure 3 of this documentPlease note that while this document contains some dimensions, these were not finalized and as such, where possible we use the dimensions provided in the Final Design Document (linked in the next section) which was release in January 2006.

Currently in the simulation we model the blanket as simple boxes on the top and four sides without the crown. It may be time to modify that. But for the time being we will provide number both for this simplified blanket model and something closer to reality that includes the crown. Using a conversion factor of 2.54 to get cm from inches.

Simplified version (without crown):
Distance from bottom of MMS and top of top ACD tiles: 32.26 mm
Distance from bottom of MMS and top of side ACD tiles: 2.26 mm
Distance between MMS and start of side ACD tiles: 18.03 mm

With Crown:
Distance from bottom of MMS and top of top ACD tiles: 6.89 mm
Distance from bottom of MMS and top of side ACD tiles: 2.26 mm
Distance between MMS and start of side ACD tiles: 18.03 mm

Note that the big difference is the distance between the top of the ACD tiles and the bottom of blanket, due to the need in the simplified model to have one box represent the blanket along the top, which must also clear the crown of the tiles themselves.

Final Design

Here is a link to the final design document.

Note the crown on the top, currently we model the blanket as simple boxes on the top and four sides.

The blanket is constructed of mulitple layers of material:
Kevlar C21H15N3O3
56 cm radiation length
6 layers on the top, 8 layers on the sides
Nextel Al2O3 (62.5%) SiO2 (24.5%) B2O3 (13%)
42 cm radiation length
4 layers
Solomide Foam density = 0.005 g/cm3
No chemical formula is provided
Material properties 0.0036 g/cm2
0.65 cm thickness/layer (density 0.0055 g/cm3)
according to the final design document, Composition similar to that of Kapton. Equivalent thickness of Kapton determined by scaling by the density = 0.010 cm
Radiation length of Kapton 28.2 cm
MLI&Handling Layers density = 1.4 g/cm3
Thickness 0.07 cm total of all materials
Area density 0.098 g/cm2
Radiation length 28.2 cm
From the description sounds like mostly Kapton (C22H10N2O5) The only other material explicitly mentioned is Germanium, but after consulting with Dave Thompson (GSFC) it was decided that could be ignored..it only contributes 1000 Angstroms, or 0.00001 cm.

Top

The top has surface area of 32328 cm2 = (179.8 x 179.8)
The inside of the crown provides an additional 2022 cm2 = (158.0 x 3.2) 4

The thickness of the top can be computed as:
MLI&Handling Layers: 0.07 cm
Solomide Foam: 4(0.65 cm)
Nextel: 4(0.043 cm)
Kevlar: 6(0.03 cm)
Total: 3.02 cm
From Section 7: Top ( 6 layers Kevlar): 0.137 + 0.119 + 0.015 + 0.098 = 0.36 g/cm2
Top 0.36 g/cm2 x 34350 cm2 = 12366 g
Top ignoring crown 0.36 g/cm2 x 32328 cm = 11638.08 g

Density: 0.36 g/cm2 / 3.02cm = 0.12 g/cm3
