Last Week's Accomplishments

NIRCam Activities for Week Ending 7/05/05

1) Held a TIM with Dynaco on FPA flex cables. After TIM,
a P.O. was placed for flex cables.
2) Held a review of the revised PIL optical design.
3) Machining at AXSYS is proceeding on schedule.
4) Finished preparing a suite of papers for the San Diego
SPIE meeting (sessionon 5904 is dominated by NIRCam papers).
5) Held a bearing manufacturing readiness review.
6) Got yet another funding mod in place thus averting a shutdown.
