From our Team telecon
Wednesday, May 2, 2001:


* Project items for IMPACT

- Schedule: New launch date is Nov-Dec '05. Instrument
  PDR is still Sept. 4-6 at APL, but spacecraft PDR is
  moved to December. Phase B now ends in March '02.
  Confirmation Review in March will be preceded by
  another independent review of STEREO (involvement of 
  IMPACT in this is unknown). See the new schedule on Dave
  Curtis' IMPACT website.

- Budget: The new UCB (Phase B) contract startup
  paperwork is now back at GSFC for their approval.
  We are still in a no cost extension Bridge Phase
  until May 31. Dave Curtis needs new cost/schedule
  feedback on extended, flat profile from Caltech and
  Maryland (see your emails).

- Project continues to hold spacecraft coordination
  meetings Thursdays 10AM at APL. Telecon lines are 
  available.  

- Next IMPACT Peer Review on IDPU and Software,
  planned for June 13 at UCB, may be moved due to
  anticipated HESSI launch on June 7


* Instruments

- SEP needs to resolve remaining FOV 
  and bracket design issues with APL

- SEP needs to resolve SIT/TOF definition issue

- MAG needs a mag cleanliness appointee at APL
  (person also needs to cover ESC)

- STE needs to resolve its newly discovered
  FOV issue

- IMPACT Merged schedule (Boom suite, SEP,
  IDPU) still needs to be made

- Thermal designs (first order) to Project
  by mid-May. Project to provide assistance.

- Boom Design: needs to be finalized and
  surface conductivity addressed.

- During Phase B IMPACT is required to make monthly
  updates to power, mass, schedule and Risks.


* Other

- Dave Curtis will be involved in HESSI
  launch activities during team meeting,
  and SWG.

- Next IMPACT Team Meeting Sunday,
  June 3, in Boston (~8:30am-2pm at a
  Midtown Hotel, 220 Huntington Ave.-
  look for a sign saying AGU or STEREO
  in the lobby to locate meeting room).
  An overhead projector and coffee will
  be available.

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