From our Team telecon
Wednesday, March 7, 2001:


* Project items for IMPACT

- IMPACT Boom/SWEA/STE Peer Review occurred
  at UCB March 6. No major issues were raised.
  Dave Curtis will contact CoIs with some followup
  questions. Next IMPACT Peer Review is SEP/MAG
  at GSFC on April 19. Dave Curtis will post the
  presentations on our website.
   
- Project wants IMPACT to support (in person
  or by phone) all spacecraft coordination meetings
  at 10AM Thursdays at APL. They have asked Robert
  Ullrich, our boom engineer, to participate this
  Thursday in a mechanical/structural discussion
  Dave Curtis will ask IMPACT team members to help
  support these as appropriate

- Budget: The new UCB (Phase B) contract startup
  is currently under negotiation with the GSFC.
  We are currently in a no cost extension until
  March 31. (Remember that this budget will 
  need revision at some point, so UCB will be
  requesting subcontractors to make the post-Phase
  A negotation changes.)

- STEREO Project will hold separate PDRs for
  the spacecraft and instruments in late September.
  Dates are still TBD

* Instruments

- During Phase B IMPACT is required to make monthly
  updates to schedule and Risks. Dave Curtis will set
  up a template and we will use our team telecons
  and email to make most regular updates

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

- SEP needs to work on a detailed schedule
  with Dave Curtis as input to the IMPACT
  master schedule (Tycho, Alan, Dave)

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

- Boom Design: Robert Ullrich is working
  on the boom prototype design, and must
  respond to Project re. a shorter stowed
  unit. Project also wants stacer samples
  to show others re. potential glint 


* Other

- Next IMPACT Team Meeting Sunday Morning,
  June 3, in Boston. This is after the
  Boston Spring AGU meeting and before the
  next STEREO SWG meeting at UNH on June 4-5.

- Dave Curtis still needs to know what is
  being spent by GSFC IMPACT team members
  (533s type information) for the record
