Last Week's Accomplishments

Activities for Week Ending Oct 10, 2006

1) Submitted the NIRCam Integration and Test Plan for GSFC review.
2) Received at Arizona two development unit short wavelength SCAs.
3) Clean room humidifier was delivered and is being installed on schedule.
4) An Engineering Review Board was held to review the hold current
for the PIL. This resulted in a reduction of the hold current
and a size reduction in the PIL cable which helps the NIRCam thermal
budget (but does not completley overcome the increase in ASIC
dissipation).
5) Submitted responses to queries about the NIRCam Materials Usage
List.
6) Continued preparations for the Cable Assembly MRR to be held next
week.
