  1. Management Update A. Bouchez Team Meeting #9 10/22/2008

  2. Where we are • We are midway through the preliminary design phase. • Some subsystems are further advanced • Real-time reconstructor computer. • High-order wavefront sensor. • We’ve fallen 6 months behind our original schedule. • We have commissioned 2 new state-of-the-art instruments on the PALMAO system. • The PALM-3000 design has been refined, and we now have far better estimates of the effort and cost required to completion. • With some reduction in scope, we have the funding and people to deploy PALM-3000 in late summer 2010. 2

  3. What’s new? Scope Changes • To reduce cost and keep to summer 2010 delivery date, we have decided to postpone LGS capabilities to FY2011 at the earliest. • Include LGS components in design, but not implementation. Personnel Changes • John Cromer is moving off of P3K (to MOSFIRE and NIRES). • Justin Crepp started on 1 Oct. • HODM testing, systems engineering, P1640 Cal system interface. • David Hale will be joining Software team on ~1 Dec. • We are recruiting an additional software engineer (0.5 FTE).

  4. FY09 Budget • $125k MRI carry-over from FY08 due to slower than expected progress on software, systems engineering. • While we have identified resources to get us to first light in Aug. 2010, budget is tight. 4

  5. FY09 Schedule Issues Critical Path(s) • Software development • Automations server - AOCP - motor control • High Order Wavefront Processor • High-order deformable mirror procurement and testing • Already delayed by at least 7 months… • Electronics assembly and testing • Especially DM & motor cabling. Strategies • Build up software team. • Monitor progress at Xinetics through meetings and visits. • Be prepared to seek additional electronics technician help as necessary. 5

  6. Critical path schedule

  7. Milestones • Electronics PDR: 12 November. • Software PDR in mid-January 2009. • Optical Bench PDR: 9 February 2009. … • Pre-ship review: end January 2010. • First commissioning run: August 2010. 7
