YEAR 1: CREATE A SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND NETLIST OF A FIRST PROTOTYPE WITH THE GOAL TO TEST FUNCTIONALITY AND INTERFACES. THIS PROTOTYPE WILL BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL IN A VACUUM ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL INCORPORATE RADIATION-CONSCIOUS DESIGN PRACTICES. THE BILL OF MATERIALS WILL CONSIST OF EASILY PROCURED COTS PARTS, AND AS MANY AS PRACTICAL WILL BE PARTS FLIGHT-PROVEN ON HITOMI, NICER, AND TESS. CREATE A SIMPLE TEST SETUP THAT CAN PROVIDE POWER TO THE SPECTROMETER AND COLLECT DATA, INCLUDING HISTOGRAMS. USE IT TO TEST THE PROTOTYPE ONCE IT HAS BEEN FABRICATED. AT FIRST THIS WILL INVOLVE ARTIFICIAL PULSES, WITHOUT A DETECTOR. WITH A DETECTOR INSTALLED, TEST USING COSMIC RAYS. EITHER TEST WITH X- RAYS HERE OR SUPPORT SUCH TESTING IN CALIFORNIA (TBD). IN EITHER CASE, DELIVER THE TEST SETUP WHEN TESTS AT NOQSI AEROSPACE ARE COMPLETE. DELIVERABLES: ELECTRICAL ICD. SCHEMATIC, NETLIST, AND BILL OF MATERIALS. TEST SETUP AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
