During observation mode SXRP will require 38 Watts of power. For a typical 24 hour observation, approximately 60 megabytes of data will be accumulated and stored in SXRP's mass memory.
A total pointing error (spacecraft pointing plus telescope alignment) of no more than 1 arcmin is required to reduce systematic errors in the polarization measurement to below the 1 errors will necessitate the use of detailed modeling of systematic effects to extract the polarization information.
During radiation belt passage, the HV power supplies will be shut down.
In eclipse mode, SXRP will be put into memory mode.
