SDO Weekly Report for November 12, 2004 Executive Summary: NASA Headquarters has assured SDO that another portion of its funding will forthcoming shortly; this should suffice until mid-December. The Project Monthlies were held this week at GSFC. The HMI Instrument CDR will be held next (November 16-17) in Palo Alto. This will be followed by the Instrument Quarterlies for AIA and HMI. Detailed Reports: ************************************************************************ SDO Bulletin The SDO Management Information System (MIS) is in the process of being upgraded. In preparation for the new release of the database, effective 4:00 pm on Friday, November 12, the system will be READ-ONLY for all SDO users. The system will continue to be read-only throughout the week, with the new system up and running on November 22. Any documentation, comments, or responses that you need to submit MUST be sent via email to the SDO CM Office using the email addresses: Toni.M.Hegarty.1--AT--gsfc.nasa.gov and Lisa.J.Serrano.1--AT--gsfc.nasa.gov Please direct any questions you may have to the SDO CM Office (6-9389 or 6-2986). ************************************************************************ The HMI team is preparing for their Critical Design Review next week in Palo Alto, CA. LMSAL has started testing e2v 4kx4k CCDs in house with a lab camera using both the standard gate and the thin gate CCDs. Initial LMSAL CCD testing has reproduced the effects seen by e2v and RAL in their testing. All development CCDs are in house at LMSAL and available for testing in the LMSAL lab camera. RAL and e2v will be presenting at the CDR, and RAL will deliver a development model camera at the CDR. AIA has completed assembly of one of the lifetest filterwheel mechanisms; the second is 90% complete with lifetesting to begin the first week of December. All HMI/AIA Development Model CCDs have been received in-house at Stanford. Currently, all AIA boards have completed layout, except for the Camera I/F board; all others are in fabrication. The first AIA RAD6000 processor board has completed assembly and has successfully completed ambient testing. Thursday, November 11 is Veteran's Day, a holiday for many on SDO. Have a good one! -- Liz Citrin SDO Project Manager 301-286-1222 FAX 301-286-0214 Cell 410-241-0503
