35. 29.2.2008Andrey Sokolov35 Conclusions FAIR project has been officially started. PANDA will be a versatile detector for charm physics. The design and prototyping of MVD is on the good way:  Two prototypes of the front end pixel chip are released.  The prototope for the strip front end chip is under construction. The MVD design comprises the good spatial resolution with PID capabilities. The straw tubes is suggested as option for PANDA tracker. Due to the new technique STT will have very low material budget combining with the good spatial resolution and efficiency. The beam test shows sufficient radiation hardness of STT.

36. 29.2.2008Andrey Sokolov36 Outlook TOPIX3 prototype should be ready by the end of this year; Half-cylinder full length STT prototype should be finished in the next year; The PANDA TDR will be ready in the beginning 2010; PANDA commissioning in 2015.
