STATUS/ACCOMPLISHMENTS The Instrument Phase A contracts have completed GSFC review/approval & Carlos is in the process of working the signature cycle with the Principal Investigators (PI). Completing this effort in a month is a true accomplishment & I thank the GSFC & PI teams for their hard work and teamwork approach. We are planning to hold our Project Mission Definition Retreat on December 3,4 and 5, at GSFC. The purpose of the meeting is to agree on the draft set of Level One requirements and to define a preliminary mission implementation concept (including closure of major system trades). Thanks, Ken [ Attachment (text/x-html): 692 bytes Character set: us-ascii ]
