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 ******************************************* IMPORTANT DATES Jan 31 Thurber and Culver visit UCB Feb 12-13 Risk Management class at UCB Feb 28 End of current contract June 3 Next IMPACT Team Meeting June 4-5 Next STEREO SWG at UNH ******************************************* Websites to Check periodically for updates http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/impact http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/impact/dwc https://sd-forum.jhuapl.edu/stereo/
