SEPT door and SWEA Peer Reviews in Europe still to be held in late September. - Thermal blanket coatings for SWEA conductivity requirement have been provisionally chosen. Contact Davin Larson (davin@ssl.berkeley.edu) for details - Mario conducted a third magnetic cleanliness workshop at APL on June 13 '02. He has done some tests of spacecraft components and will be working with Project on compensation magnets and to screen Reaction wheel parts. - Thermal model updates still needed? _ Parts lists updates needed - 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 -------------------------------------------- Oct 9, Nov 6, Dec 18 (post CDRs) - All IMPACT PDR action items (RFAs) should be closed - Boom Design: Needs mechanical prototype by CDR Boom Tubes and Rings are in work. - Phase B Progress Report information will be collected by Dave prior to the 15th of each month. * Other - The Data Plan telecon was held on July 3.
