Compatibility Issues for Joint Operation of the LMSA and MMA

M. Ishiguro [1], P. Napier [2]

July 2, 1997

Keywords: array compatibility

If the LMSA and the MMA are to be capable of operating together to form a larger array, it will be necessary that their designs be compatible in a number of areas. Additionally, compatibility of design or operation may make it possible for the two instruments to save capital or operating cost by sharing infrastructure. In this report we present a list of compatibility issues which should be investigated before either instrument freezes its design. Inclusion of an item on the list does not necessarily mean that compatibility is essential, simply that the advantages and disadvantages of achieving compatibility must be understood.
