From our Team telecon Monday November 6, 2002: * Project items for IMPACT - Current issues: CDR final preparations. New IMPACT instrument manager@GSFC after CDR is Lil Reichenthal (lreichen@pop700.gsfc.nasa.gov) - Schedule/Meetings: IMPACT CDR has been scheduled for Nov 20-22 at a location near GSFC. ALL TEAM MEMBERS ATTENDING CDR NEED TO REGISTER- Contact Dave or Janet if you have not received a form to fill out. Mission CDR has been delayed until Feb 18-21 '03. SWAVES CDR has been delayed until Feb. '03. SECCHI CDR in progress this week. PLASTIC CDR scheduled immediately preceding IMPACT CDR. Project continues spacecraft coordination meetings on Thursdays. Check APL website for presentations. - Spacecraft: Design is assumed frozen with minor exceptions. Early vs. late boom deployment is under discussion. Reaction wheels have been selected from batch screened for Messenger. - Budget: New contract has been signed off * Instruments - All Peer Reviews done except SIT door. Boom Peer Review completed on 10/29. - Thermal model updates needed by CDR _ Parts lists updates needed by CDR - Schedule and Resource updates needed by CDR - All IMPACT PDR action items (RFAs) should be closed by CDR - Ground strap design being done by Paul Turin at UCB. - Glint issues related to edges of solar panels in FOVs still a project and IMPACT concern. Discussion continues at IMPACT telecons on Tuesdays (Tuesday telecon canceled this week due to SECCHI CDR) - SWEA Engineering Model arrived at SSL Thermal blanket coatings for SWEA conductivity requirement still under discussion. For information Contact Davin Larson (davin@ssl.berkeley.edu) - Boom Design: Mechanical prototype now exists. Rings Glue has been cold tested. Deployment mechanism has been tried out. Test plan is in work. Contamination test at UCB on 11/7 - Mario led another STEREO Project Magnetics Workshop discussion on Oct 31. Latch valve is still an issue of concern. Shielding is under consideration. Compensation magnets still need to be located on spacecraft. Reaction wheel fields now known. - There are currently weekly or biweekly SEP telecons on Thursdays, and periodic BOOM and IDPU meetings at UCB. All-team telecons are now once/month: 2002 IMPACT Wed. telecons, provisional dates -------------------------------------------- Dec telecon cancelled due to team meeting Dec 11 - Phase B Progress Report information will be collected by Dave prior to the 15th of each month. * Other - Peter Schroeder (peters@ssl.berkeley.edu) completed the Data Management Plan draft, due at CDR - preliminary IMPACT "Users Manual" due at CDR. - selected Helios 1/2 data are available for browsing and download- as a STEREO in-situ prototype set- at the URL http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/htbin/impact/HeliosData.pl ****************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Nov 20-22 '02 IMPACT CDR Dec 11 '02 IMPACT Team meeting at UCB Feb 18-20 '03 MISSION CDR Dec '05- Launch ******************************************* 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/
