Highlights - Accomplishments
• SI News: SI fully integrated
Thermal Balance begins 25 June; Thermal-Vac Science Cal on 5 July! COS PER
All STScI IS supported the review FUV02 aligned in CAOS/HOMS (Hartig participation); “tilted” spectrum lines present
before GSFC activities, absent after. Different cal lamp used; thorough evaluation via BIA and ABA by
Ball/STScI/GSFC team; no changes in CAOS/HOMS BOA FUV resolution degradation will be determined in Thermal-Vac testing GSFC EMI/EMC, vibration and acoustic tests, metrology all successfully performed;
MAMA MCP current exceeded safe limit during pre-ship system FT after acoustic test on NUV/MAMA; ion trap shorted to ground due to screw in contact with ion trap (40 v); repaired (Vespel potted in place).
Shipped back to Ball; now in RASCAL alignment. Proceed to Thermal-Vac / Thermal Balance activity (24/7 2 shifts per day
activity commencing 25 June nominally through 5 August)- STScI Instrument Scientists (Keyes, Sembach, Leitherer, Friedman, and
Bohlin) will stand shifts during Thermal-Vac; Hartig will “float”

Highlights - Accomplishments (cont.)
• STScI scheduling system Flat field commanding re-work; now in implementation testing
• STScI continued Thermal-Vac requirements planning and preparation Calibration activity splinter meeting and telecons with IDT Draft data transfer standards agreement with IDT; development and testing
of data transfer process completed STScI IS shift schedules finalized
• Supported COS Science Team meeting• Delivered updated COS mini-Handbook; additional post-Thermal-Vac
updates planned in August and schedule coordinated• Drafted Target Acquisition requirements TIR (COS TIR 2003-02, Friedman)• STScI post-SM4 data volume study (includes significant COS section) completed
• SMOV4 requirements planning: Special Commanding requirements definition
• Calcos 1-d spectrum extraction and averaging routines tested
• COS Keyword Dictionary (adjunct to ICD-19) reviewed by COS IS and OPUS
• McMaster has installed CEDAR and continues to test APT
• Friedman supported STScI AAS COS display at Nashville meeting• Leitherer leaves COS Group to join JWST
