Last Week's Accomplishments

NIRCam Activities for Week Ending 12/13/05
1) FPA CDR has had to be delayed because of problem with
the first delivery of flex cables. The problem is understood
and two paths including the baseline Dynaco cables have been
identified. CDR will be re-scheduled to early February.
2) Arizona hosted a successful visit by RSC QA personnel.
3) FPE box thermal analysis is complete.
4) Fact finding visit was paid to JDS Uniphase as part of the
bandpass filter vendor selection process.
5) Flight software has defined the dithering operation for
filter wheels and also completed another batch of unit testing.
