STATUS/ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Systems team met with SDO subsystems to consolidate all the post-SRR 
design and configuration changes in order to present the entire package to 
the systems/subsystems team for review and discussion.  Status of recent 
trades in spacecraft structure, electrical architecture, High Gain Antenna 
implementation concept, operations concept development, action items, etc, 
as well as updates to Observatory resources estimates were all 
addressed.  In addition, a peer review of the Subsystem Data Node, a core 
component of the SDO architecture, was successfully held, allowing 
identification of actions items and agreement on the prototype design to 
move on towards the layout and manufacturing phase.  In support of the 
Instrument development effort, the systems team attended the SHARPP 
Independent Instrument Review and provided technical support in review of 
the SHARPP instrument concept, implementation design, and development 
progress.  Finally, the systems team and subsystems met as a group to 
provide a comprehensive review of all risk items in the SDO risk database, 
followed later by meeting of the SDO Risk Management Board where Risk areas 
were again reviewed and evaluated before being updated in the risk 
management system.

In others areas, the Project met with AETD management, the GSFC SEC/LWS 
Program Office, and our Program Exec. to summarize the results of the SDO 
grassroots cost estimate.  The Ground System team successfully conducted a 
peer review with GSFC ground system experts.  For the instruments, we 
determined the preferred format structure for the instruments high rate data.

We continue to prepare for the shutdown of the procurement system by 
submitting PRs ranging from flight software computers/server/licenses to 
photo and video equipment.

Thanks,
Ken
