Abstract

The initial on-orbit checkout of the soft X-ray spectroscopic system on board the XRISM satellite is summarized. The satellite was launched on September 6, 2023 (UT) and has been undergoing initial checkout since then. Immediately after the launch, the cryocoolers were turned on and their operation was established. The first cycle of the adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator was performed on Oct. 9th, 2023, to transition the sensor to steady-state operational temperature conditions. Subsequently, the filter wheel, which supports energy calibration, was started up. The energy scale is highly sensitive to the temperature environment around the sensor and its analog electronics. The gain correction was established by referring to the calibration X-ray line. For an optimization of the cooler frequencies, we took data including the noise spectra by scanning the cooler frequencies, and selected a good frequency pair in the on-orbit environment. At the last stage of the checkout, the gate valve, which protects the inside of the Dewar from outside air pressure at launch, was attempted to be opened to bring the system to a state where it is ready for regular operations but was failed.
