  7. What are we building? • Flight Model CRaTER Instrument (Deliverable to NASA) • Fully Qualified and Calibrated • Flight Spare Instrument • Fully Qualified and Calibrated • Engineering Model Instrument • Fairly high fidelity model • Not Flyable • Mass/CG Simulator • Command & Data Handling Simulator • It may be possible that we will use the EM for this function, but still under review. • M&E GSE for internal CRaTER project use • Will be used up thru post shipment testing at NASA-GSFC • Various jigs and fixtures for instrument testing and calibration • Shipping containers for instrument transportation CRaTER Project Overview ...

  8. CRaTER Project Schedule • The CRaTER Project Schedule tracks the NASA LRO Top Level Schedule • Currently at Rev 0.6 • The CRaTER Project Schedule Holy Grail • A fully qualified & calibrated flight unit to NASA-GSFC by Oct 2007 • Even with the some problems getting the project spun up, the schedule prognosis is good. • After I-PDR, the next technical milestone will be the completion of the technical specification for the detector procurement • August 2005 • After I-PDR, the next programmatic milestone will be the completion of the Phase CDE contract (extension) • Signed off before the current Phase ABC_bridge end date of Sept 30, 2005 CRaTER Project Overview ...
