Review study overall progress, progress against milestones, and summary financial situation
9:30 am Science Requirements Document (Release 1) (Max) .ppt
From the SD SEMP: The SRD describes the new system in terms of the needed scientific and technical performance. The document also expresses specific requirements for implementation or design where those requirements are essential to satisfactory integration and interoperation of the new system with other observatory systems.

1:00 pm Trade Study Report: Fixed vs. Variable LGS Asterism (Velur) .ppt
From the WBS DIctionary: Consider the cost/benefit of continually varying the LGS asterism radius vs. a fixed number of radii (e.g. 5", 25", 50"). Complete when LGS asterism requirements have been documented.
1:30 pm Trade Study Report: LGS Asterism Geometry and Size (Flicker) .ppt
From the WBS Dictionary: Find the simplest LGS asterism geometry meeting the performance budget goals (e.g. quincunx, ring, 1+triangle, or hex) and the asterism radii. Consider optimization of the Strehl of the tip/tilt stars and the resultant sky coverage as well. Complete when LGS asterism, HO WFS, and LO WFS requirements have been documented.
