Last Week's Accomplishments

NIRCam Activities for Week Ending 2/28/06

1) Substantial progress has been made on the ICE and FPE portions of the NIRCam ICD with draft release expected next week.

2) ETU lenses are now in polishing with delivery anticipated on schedule at the end of March.

3) Internal I&T review held in preparation for CDR next month -some work still to be done!

4) Discovered a small discrepancy in the refractive index for the PIL lenses before fab had started. A revised PIL prescirption will be issued next week (less than 0.5% change in one radius of curvature).

5) NIRCam supported the rogue path meeting, FSW Review, and IRSU reviews.
