Accomplishments of Week Ending 1/16/07

1) Singlet lens mounting issue is almost completely resolved. A

Test Readiness Review was held which covered the modified mount

and procedure (0.5mm gap at bottom of mount was removed, order

of tightnening bolts revised, and a different torque wrench has

been selected) with intent of proceeding with mounting and testing

this week.

 

2) Analysis of data on the passive friction device shows no

torque increase between room temperature and cryo. Position

repeatability test will be performed in early Feb.

 

3) Filter wheel assembly was the subject of an internal review

and the revised design now passes both the 1st freq spec and the

design limit loads on the mounting flexures.

 

4) Closure has not been reached with Barr on how to measure the

transmitted wavefront error and telecons are being held every day to

resolve this issue.
