Agenda < Keck/NGAO

---+++Agenda - Indian Wells NGAO Point Design Retreat
---++++Tuesday, April 25:
          
*Noon - 1pm  Welcome/Lunch*

*1pm - REQUIREMENTS CAPTURE*
   * Review science case requirements flow down
   * Review observatory requirements/constraints

*Instrument repackaging/upgrade options*
   * Adopt working constrain model
   * Identify trade studies for System Design Phase

*Review questions raised in Homework Assignments - identify assignments for tonight*

---++++Wednesday, April 26 (working lunch will be served at 12 noon):
*8:30 am- POINT DESIGN*
Proposal philosophy, design philosophy
   * Review architecture choices (relay vs. AM2 vs. MEMS)

*Mark I: narrow-field AO point design. Shoot at initial point design in light of:*
   * Wavefront error budget
   * Sky Coverage estimates
   * Photometry budgets (LGS,NGS,Sci)
   
*Identify trade studies for System Design Phase*

*Identify key risk areas*

*Make initial Proposal writing assignments (technical section)*
             
*3:00 pm - Break for the Day*
 
---++++Thursday, April 27 (working lunch will be served at 12 noon):
*8:30 am - POINT DESIGN (cont.)*    
Mark II: wide-field AO architecture options 
   * Identify key risk areas

*11:00 am*
   * Instrument A (likely a visible imager)
   * Shoot at initial point design
   * Identify trade studies for System Design Phase
             
*1:30 pm*
   * Instrument B: (likely an IR MOS)
   * Shoot at initial point design
   * Identify trade studies for System Design Phase
             
*3:00 pm*
