2025.7

[javierggt]

ska3-matlab 2025.7

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 (not supported on Windows)
  • 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:

Two versions were tested: 2025.7rc1 and 2025.7rc2. These two are functionally the same except for some tests of the kadi package. The 2025.7rc1 includes some extra files for kadi regression tests, and these files caused an installation error on the FOT side, so these files were removed for 2025.7rc2. For this reason, 2025.7rc1 tests can be considered more complete, although the actual version being tested for promotion is 2025.7rc2.

• GRETA (RC2).
• OSX (RC1).
• Windows (RC1).

There is one test that shows a failure on Windows. This relates to a new feature: ACIS DPA power state. This feature should be considered not supported on Windows until the issue has been resolved.

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

conda create -n ska3-matlab-2025.7rc# --override-channels \
  -c https://icxc.cfa.harvard.edu/aspect/ska3-conda/flight \
  -c https://icxc.cfa.harvard.edu/aspect/ska3-conda/test \
  ska3-matlab==2025.7rc#

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-matlab 2025.7 will be promoted to flight conda channel and installed on GRETA Linux after approval from FOT team.
