1. PALM-3000 Budget and Schedule Update A. Bouchez, J. Roberts Team Meeting #10 1/8/2009

2. PALM-3000 2 Purpose of this meeting Explain recent changes in our budget. Present an updated schedule. Explain purpose of the Interim Project Review.

3. PALM-3000 3 Updated Budget Reduction in COO internal contribution from $700k to $300k per year. As a result, we’ve decided to take several cost-saving decisions: –Liquid cooling of racks postponed. –P3K integration at Palomar, after an extended testbed phase in Pasadena. –First light will slip ~2mo to October 2010. Still low on contingency in FY09. (10 %)

4. PALM-3000 4 FY09 effort distribution

5. PALM-3000 5 Schedule update Recent changes to schedule Had intended to build up software team to accelerate progress. Now accepting a schedule delay, redistributing tasks among current team. HODM has been further delayed, to mid-March at earliest (still not in critical path, but close). We have settled on a “testbed” model of subsystem integration. Caltech has requested an interim external review of the project, to evaluate the science case and gain confidence in cost predictions. Interim Project Review Probably a full-day review on the week of 16 February. Primarily a review of the science case and management plan. Shri would like us to present cost to completion for both NGS and LGS systems (including implementation of a new laser). Will provide PDR documentation as supporting technical materials (HOWFS, Electronics, Software, Optical Bench).
