Last Week's Accomplishments

NIRCam Activities for Week Ending 3/07/08

1) Got STScI PSF software to function, and produce model PSFs though NIRCam filters.

2) Held a sensor CDR at Blueline which showed that the sensors are meeting the NIRCam electrical reqs with plenty of margin.

3) Held a FSW TIM which revealed some lingering questions about hardware monitors, etc.

4) Sensor epoxy crack issue still under investigation. Epoxy itself was taken from a batch within its acceptable use-by-date and was prepared properly.
