2025.6

[javierggt]

ska3-flight 2025.6

This release includes:

• kadi
  • Add capability for computed kadi states and use it for attitude and sun-related states (this includes attitude-related states like pitch/roll)
  • Implements the RASL maneuver command event as a constant-rate roll about the sun
  • Add ACIS DPA power state
• Many small fixes and documentation improvements (see below).
• update ska3-core from 2025.3 to 2025.6, to fix compiler compatibilty in recent OSX versions, and to update astropy.

Interface Impacts:

• chandra_aca:
  • Changed the name of the keyward argument in chandra_aca.aca_image.get_tccd_data from "maude_channel" to "channel" to match the kwarg used in other methods.
• kadi
  • Adds dpa_power commanded state.
  • New computed states:
    • rasl: roll about sun line
    • 'sun_ra', sun_dec: sun RA and dec
  • New (optional) states for which ACIS FEPs/CCDs are on
  • Attitude and sun-related states will change in value and in the interval start/stop bins. In all cases the new values match telemetry better, sometimes substantially better. See the validation notebook for details

Testing:

• HEAD.
• OSX.
• GRETA.

The latest release candidates will be installed in /proj/sot/ska3/test on HEAD, and all release candidates will be available for testing from the usual channels:

conda create -n ska3-flight-2025.6rc# --override-channels \
  -c https://icxc.cfa.harvard.edu/aspect/ska3-conda/flight \
  -c https://icxc.cfa.harvard.edu/aspect/ska3-conda/test \
  ska3-flight==2025.6rc#

If this release includes an update to ska3-perl, the install process for Aspect will include that. Note: ska3-perl is generally not needed for non-Aspect users.

conda create -n ska3-flight-2025.6rc# --override-channels \
  -c https://icxc.cfa.harvard.edu/aspect/ska3-conda/flight \
  -c https://icxc.cfa.harvard.edu/aspect/ska3-conda/test \
  ska3-flight==2025.6rc# ska3-perl==2025.6rc#

Review

All operations critical or impacting PR's are independently and carefully reviewed. For other PR's the level of detail for review is calibrated to operations criticality. Some PR's that are confined to aspect-team-specific processing may have little to no independent review.

Deployment

ska3-flight 2025.6 will be promoted to flight conda channel and installed on HEAD and GRETA Linux upon approval of FSDS Jira ticket.
