  2. Agenda • Executive Summary • Recent and Upcoming Events • Program Status • Schedule (Bar chart and Lego chart) • Risks • Concerns / Issues • Program Summary

  3. Executive Summary • Program has made significant progress • Cavity Door Drive System (CDDS) final flight test controller and software installed and working • Mission Control & Communication System (MCCS) open door software and hardware checked and working • Cavity Environmental Control System (CECS) experiencing failures, but is repaired and working • Provides drying and some heating to cavity prior to and during descent • 100% door open flight accomplished December 18th • Science preparation on track for first science (instruments, labs, etc) • Other status • JSPP II signed • Agreement on German workforce for operations • German Science Data archiving agreement is TBD • Segment 3 planning underway • FIFI lost funding • Limited slack to ISF milestone • Program and Center’s working recovery strategies

  13. Program Summary Program has made significant progress Achieved 100% door open flight on December 18th Program successfully implemented recovery plan to achieve FCF and 100% door open flight prior to end of calendar year On-track to ship FORCAST soon Integration and line ops late winter TA characterization (door open and TA unlocked) and first light expected early April. Program has a concern with limited slack to Initiation of Science (ISF) Working recovery options
