Introduction
Science Requirements
Measure the relevant spatial and temporal variations of Ar, He, Na, and K.
Detect or establish new limits for selected other species for which previous detections have been attempted.
Perform a survey for the presence of other species or positive ambient ions and other atoms or compounds, within a mass range of Da and a sensitivity of several particles/cc.
Detect or set new limits for the spatial and size distribution of atmospheric dust over an altitude range from 3 km up to 50 km, with a height resolution of 3 km, at a minimum detectable density of grains/cc, for grains from 100 nm to at least 1 micrometer in radius.

SIS Development
LDEX is nearly ready for peer review. Kudos to Carol Neese and to the LDEX team.
UVS has a rather drafty draft but is moving along.
NMS (and MAVEN NGIMS) team is having all of their time taken up by MSL SAM. Currently there is no one assigned to LADEE SIS development. The same is true for MAVEN. This is a real concern.

Mission Development
SPICE/navigation issues still a concern.
Other mission activities seem to be in good shape.
