* Project items for IMPACT

- Spacecraft: Spacecraft design has been set for PDR.
  See the APL website for pictures. SEP is now split
  into several more pieces to clear fields of view.
  STE is also split with sunward-pointing STE at the
  boom base.

- Schedule/Meetings: IMPACT PDR is Sept. 11-12 at APL.
  Spacecraft PDR Dec 4-6. IMPACT Peer Reviews are now
  completed for this year.

- Budget: The new UCB (Phase B) contract startup
  paperwork is under final negotiations with GSFC.
  We are still in a no cost extension Bridge Phase
  until Aug 31. Dave Curtis needs spending profiles
  for the next year to identify problems/shortfalls.

- Project continues to hold spacecraft coordination
  meetings Thursdays 10AM at APL. Telecon lines are 
  available and the meeting reports are on the APL
  website. Mag cleanliness workshop led by Mario will
  be at APL Aug 9.
