From our Team telecon
Wednesday, January 24, 2001:


* Project items for IMPACT

- GSFC Project instrument managers John
  Thurber and Harry Culver will visit UCB
  on Jan 31. If you wish to discuss something
  specific with them by telecon at that time
  let Janet or Dave Curtis know. They expect to
  go over the IMPACT Schedule and Budget, and
  the IMAR. They have also been asking for
  more detail on instrument engineering drawings,
  and software.
   
- Schedule/Budgets: Dave Curtis is collecting
  information for a detailed IMPACT schedule for
  the above. SEP needs to provide their inputs.  
  Budgetwise, a new UCB contract is expected in 
  ~2 weeks. Note this will have the "uncorrected"
  Phase B budget, but should allow us to continue
  work past the previous contract end-date of
  Feb 28. At some point GSFC will send us a revised
  budget based on any changes decided by Project
  and NASA headquarters for Phase BCD.

- NASA is giving its west coast Risk Management
  course at UCB on Feb 12-13. Expected IMPACT
  participants include Dave Curtis, Robert Ullrich,
  Branislav Kecman. Lockheed will also attend
  this course for SECCHI and other projects.

- Project will probably hold separate PDRs
  for the spacecraft and instruments in September.

- Project wants IMPACT feedback on the ICD and
  IMAR. Dave will provide the latter for comment.

- STEREO/Farside option technical review currently
  underway at APL. Decision to be made in February
  by Withbroe

* Instruments

- Dave Curtis to provide project with more
  detailed drawings of SWEA

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

- SEP needs to work on a schedule for Jan 31

- 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 is
  being spent by GSFC IMPACT team members
  (533s type information) for the record
