Last Week's Accomplishments

1) Meeting to close Ball packaging contract held at Ball
with inventories, drawings, and cert logs reviewed.
2) Residual parts from Ball packaging contract received at Arizona.
3) Began an exercise to look at consequence to NIRCam
development if FY06 budget were to be cut about in half.
4) Completed a contamination study that has led to a
design for heaters on the NIRCam pick-off mirrors.
5) A revised design for the short wavelength FPA has been
sent from Arizona to Lockheed Martin for thermal and structural
analysis.
