From our Team telecon Wednesday, Feb 6, 2002: * Project items for IMPACT - Current issues: Project and HQ have asked the science teams to offer an accounting of possible science savings to prepare for CR in March. Please review your budgets for items you regard non-essential and send numbers to Janet by end of thursday (Feb 7). - Schedule/Meetings: Spacecraft PDR occurred Dec 4-6 at APL. Project CR readiness review Mar 8, CR at HQ Mar 26 IMPACT CDR has been scheduled for Nov 19-20, 2002 - Spacecraft: APL wants to freeze the design by June. Send any concerns to Dave Curtis. - Budget: Phase B/C/D formal rebudgeting still in progress The month-to-month adjustments approach requires planning ahead on your costs, and spending to schedule. - Project continues spacecraft coordination meetings Thursdays 10AM at APL. Early ones of interest are Contamination and Thermal on Feb 7 and Magnetics on Feb 21. * Instruments - During Phase B there are weekly SEP group telecons on Thursdays, and periodic BOOM and IDPU meetings at UCB. All-team telecons are now once/month, the 1st or 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9AM Pacific, allowing for a number of days before the IMPACT Progress Report is due.
