From our Team telecon
Wed Apr 16, 2003:


* Project items for IMPACT

- Current issues: 

  IMPACT must give a status report for an IRT panel April 24.

  Critical milestones for all mission investigations
  and spacecraft will be regularly reviewed by GSFC Project
  and IRT. Check your milestones at Dave Curtis' impact website.  

- Spacecraft: Full-scale Mockups for harness layouts
              now exist at APL

- Budget: Shortfall in FY'03 and Project contingency requirement 
          resulted in elimination of all IMPACT funded science
	  effort prior to Launch-1 yr.
          Concerns exist about impacts of GSFC financial
	  system outage over the next months


* Instruments

- Caltech SEP detector mounts continue to need attention 

- Boom Design: T-V chamber under construction.
  Protoflight engineering model to be ready by July.

- Mag cleanliness issues still need to be worked.

- Ground strap design being done by Paul Turin
  at UCB. (status?)

- Project is now refocusing on software and will
  be implementing a QA program and informal reviews
