OPAL Action Item Summary

• review payloader ICD matrix, return to OSSS
• we need to get the switches for our separation confirmation signal
• get freq. license, get the info on it to Buckley
• post test info on web
• add beacon specs to ICD for the after-separation pulse

Notes summary:

JAWSAT

• integration order:  ASU, OPAL, OCS, Falconsat, MSFC
• need information from payloaders on required check-out tests after integration
• preferable to have payload people at WSU for integration help
• payloaders can turn on their radios for check-out tests at WSU and in EPF at VAFB
• payloads will be trickle-charged as long as possible on the pad, possibly up to 1-2 days before launch

• right now not planning to turn on if not deployed, but PI trying to change that

• orbit data:
  alt:  750 km
  inc:  100 degrees
  RA:  265 degrees
  ecc:  0
  epoch: Sept. 15, 1999

• will need payloader mass models again in March
• should have design for SoftRide in about 3 weeks

• all payloaders and OSSS need to operate together as "one harmonious organism"
• OSSS and Buckley to talk about how to reduce costs -- may not need to meet so often as a group

• the 14 g axial and 8.7 g lateral transient loads are for a 300 lb payload and will be less for the 400 lb JAWSAT
• the two shocks in table 1 of the new loads data are for JAWSAT-4th stage separation -- payloads will never see this
• proposed preliminary sep sequence:  ASU, OPAL, OCS, Falconsat, JAWSAT

• possibility of having pre-ship review at VAFB at end of April, could bring OPAL to meeting, have OSSS take it back
• ejection velocities should be a low as possible, with .5 ft/s being the lowest allowed
• WSU has frequency allocation without a license, may launch without the license and let the license catch up after launch
