From our Team telecon

* Project items for IMPACT

- Project met with George Withbroe this
  week to discuss the resolution of the
  STEREO budget situation. IMPACT supplied
  Joe Davila and Lika Guhathkurta at HQ
  with information about all of our instruments
  so they know the science implications of
  their decisions. The STEREO/Farside option
  (marrying the STEREO and LWS Farside missions)
  will be decided by Withbroe following a
  3-week technical study at APL. We should
  know by mid-February which way we are going.
  In the meantime we are to proceed as planned
  for Phase B.
   
- Schedule/Budgets: NASA subcontract extensions 
  to the end of February '01 should be in effect.  
  Let Dave or Janet know if your contracting office
  still needs something from UCB. Project says
  instrument cost assessments should be finalized
  in the next weeks - thus we may hear something
  new about our adjusted Phase B budgets soon.

- Project has asked IMPACT to participate in
  a NASA Risk Management "course" that they
  will bring to UCB SSL on January 23-24.
  Dave Curtis and several other SSL technical
  people will attend. It is highly desirable
  to have a Caltech attendee for IMPACT also.
  East coast coIs should attend the GSFC course
  when it is announced.

- Peer Reviews. A provisional Peer Review
  schedule has been posted on the "dwc/Project"
  part of the impact website. This schedule is
  still floating.

* Instruments

- Boom Design: Robert Ullrich is working
  on the boom prototype design

- SEP needs to resolve remaining FOV issues
  and bracket design issues with APL on
  the redesigned spacecraft (Tycho)

* Other

- Dave Curtis still needs to know what was
  spent during Phase A and Bridge by GSFC
  team members (533s type information) for
  the record
