Parts drawings required for acoustics test in process (Johnson). STATIC FPGA still in development Still not getting much ME time on STATIC due to RBSP -- analyzer and mechanical attenuator still in development New vacuum calibration chamber not be ready for MCP testing so an older chamber will be readied and another chamber refurbished.
