1/24/01 -  Daily 1:15 pm all-hands meetings have continued under the leadership of Darrell Winfield  All days have been one shift, with work planned  on 1/20 and 1/21   Lab work by PI teams continues beyond one shift as each team determines is appropriate

All 14 instrument teams are, or have been, onsite except Apel, who is expected to arrive 1/22    Representatives for the Shetter, Blake, Fried, Avery and Heikes teams have completed all upload work and have departed All racks except the Apel rack are onboard, locked down and being completed  All but the Apel and one Talbot inlet is in place  ICATS has completed about 70% of the 700 parameter ID checks  Graphical displays are integrated and operational  The Mission Directors' console has been modified and verified  The Ethernet  is installed and working  The NOAA ATP system, printer and ftp server have been reinstalled  Brune has introduced a new measurement for NO and NOx which requires rack space, inlet and exhaust  The Sandholm laser is expected to upload on 1/22  The Sachse DLH will be added later before the first test flight  DIAL has an electrical problem to resolve where its startup results in popping the plane circuit breakers

A list of 16 upload tasks is currently in work  Audits have been completed for blue boxes and spares placement  WRT transport of Blake's snakes, approaches have been found to deliver and retrieve from all sites  We are investigating whether or not the USAF can give reliable, low risk, less expensive transport than available via conventional couriers

All necessary funding for DFRC and WFF have been turned into PRs , approved through all the LaRC system and are now awaiting transfer on 1/24 as 506 authority

The upload is expected to be complete by 1/25 as scheduled   A go-no go decision will be made on the inclusion of ICATS immediately after the 2/1 flight test (part of the pm Pilot Proficiency Flight test)  The current ICATS assessment is that it will be ready for the test flights and deployment

In summary, it appears that upload will be complete when planned  There presently are no obvious reasons why the test flights and deployment will not proceed as scheduled  ICATS has considerable work to complete before it is flight worthy (due on 1/22), but has been making steady progress
