From our Team telecon
Wednesday, May 16, 2001:


* Project items for IMPACT

- Schedule: New launch date is Nov-Dec '05. Instrument
  PDR is now a week later: Sept. 11-13 at APL. Spacecraft PDR 
  has moved to early December. Phase B now ends in March '02.
  Confirmation Review in March. See the new schedule on Dave
  Curtis' IMPACT website. Project has promised to review our
  PDR deliverables list next week to advise us of requirements.

- Budget: The new UCB (Phase B) contract startup
  paperwork is still back at GSFC for their approval.
  We are still in a no cost extension Bridge Phase
  until May 31, and may need one more. 

- Project continues to hold spacecraft coordination
  meetings Thursdays 10AM at APL. Telecon lines are 
  available. This Thursday's topics are software
  protocol for spacecraft interface (IDPU issues),
  plus emulator and GSE matters related to this.

- Next IMPACT Peer Review on IDPU and Software,
  planned for June 28 at UCB (new date). "Wrapup"
  pre-PDR Peer Review still nominally Aug. 2 at UCB.


* Instruments

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

- 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.

  launch activities during team meeting,
  and SWG. Use email to contact him.
