2. Keyes – 1 February 2000 : Slide 2 of 6 COS Monthly Status Review v Detailed requirements and deliverables schedule established for STScI Phase 1 Scheduling System development (Integrated Schedule) – primary requirements deliverable: OP-01 due 15 Feb 2000 – end-to-end testing in Phase 1 as feasible > test proposals will exercise front-end capabilities (proposal instructions, proposal generation, scheduling, commanding) – Revised phase 1 will support only TIME-TAG science observations for the FUV and NUV detectors > NOTE: the primary science operating mode comprises Phase 1 – Content of other phases adjusted to accommodate moving of target acquisition from phase 1 to phase 2 (see next 2 slides)

5. Keyes – 1 February 2000 : Slide 5 of 6 COS Monthly Status Review v STScI COS Team News – STScI Servicing Mission Office (SMO) now New Instruments & Servicing Department (NISD) – Melissa McGrath hired as new COS Instrument Scientist – Ralph Bohlin to lead COS Calibration Working Group v STScI is reviewing COS IDT Target Acquisition Analysis (TAACOS) requirements document – defines appropriate modeling to confirm acquisition schemes – target acquisition methodology must be confirmed by July 2000 > affects early Phase 2 scheduling system development activity

6. Keyes – 1 February 2000 : Slide 6 of 6 COS Monthly Status Review v Membership and charter of the COS Calibration Working Group established – Primary members are Ralph Bohlin and Tony Keyes (STScI), Ken Brownsberger (IDT/CU), John Vallerga (UCB), Dennis Ebbets (IDT/Ball), and Ed Murphy (FUSE/JHU) – initial CALWG meeting scheduled for 8 February 2000 > charter issued > science keyword definition (IDT deliverable by 1 Mar 2000 per MOU) > calibration overview > calibration code re-use review > define calibration requirements & techniques (AV-03)
