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.
  Here are provisional dates for the telecons (reminders
  and/or changes will be emailed):
