G.E. Brueckner is being presented to the AAS Solar Physics Division Meeting this weekend. Some steps have been taken to reduce the number of instrument activation commands by trimming down the portions of PEM which are activated. By making assumptions on power relay states and skipping steps in the activation process, the number of commands has been trimmed by about 100. This is still about 100 more commands than can fit within the OBC as presently configured.
All solutions are to be examined.
PEM is planing on presenting a power solution at the July 1 meeting. All engineering parameters are nominal and the science data results are excellent. Several members of the HRDI team, Dave Ortland, Ruth Lieberman, and Julie Kafkalidis are attending the American Meteorological Society 10th Conference on the Middle Atmosphere in Tacoma, Washington. The first call for papers for the Winds '97 Workshop has been made. The meeting will be held in Ann Arbor on the 6-9 of October of this year.
