External Development Projects Hardware Needs through the end of the year 26jun03 bsm I. Caltech Continuum Backend A) CDR Support -CDR in mid to late September (tentatively) -work needed: -->thorough and critical review of documentation (probably by at least 2, ideally, all 4 of John, Roger, Galen & Rich). -->1 full day of meetings for these 4 B) Continued consultation (1 hour per week average for 1 electronics expert; possibly more-- and some support from Galen, although with the interfaces defined this shouldn't be much) through the end of the year We may also need some consultation from Dennis as Caltech defines the packaging interface. II. Penn Array Receiver A) CDR support: CDR in late August or early September? B) Continued consultation at roughly 1 hour per week through the end of the year; until the CDR, this should be 2 hours per week. C) Design & Construction of RFI crate D) Shop time for construction of the Penn Array dewar III. Site Characterization Hardware --> this can wait until early next year for completion but we will have K, Ka, & Q on the telescope and we need to start getting experience relating the data to real astronomy. This can't wait until we are commissioning W band or Penn Array. A) Tipper B) Site interferometer
