Description
1) Define and document, jointly with the ESA Study Scientist, the scientific requirements for the LOFT mission and for its payload.2) Define and document the main characteristics of the payload that will satisfy the science requirements.
3) Advise the ESA internal study team on the scientific implication of the proposed designs.
4) Support the ESA internal study team during the industrial study phase.
5) Provide input to the Report at the end of the Assessment Study, especially on the science related sections.
