Summary: The meeting attendees discussed the need for an integrated schedule from Purdue and Stony Broojk and acknowledged the clarity provided by Charles. They also discussed upcoming coatings and the need for collaboration on mirror substrates and sensor plates construction. Alex decided to explore relocating the groove, and the meeting was recorded for documentation.
Key Points:
- Alex inquires about folding Sushrut's rough schedule for the aerogel wall and sensor plane design into the overall schedule. (2:13)
- Bill emphasizes the interdependence of different project components and stresses the need for an integrated schedule from Purdue. (8:20)
- Alex appreciates the clarity provided by Charles regarding the schedule and requests additional input to finalize critical path and milestones. (15:53)
- Preet outlines the plan for upcoming coatings, including testing larger samples and mirror mounts leading up to Purdue deliverables. (16:59)
- Kong demonstrates the reflectivity test setup with reference mirrors and discusses plans for future measurements, aiming for a systematic approach to minimize uncertainty in results. (25:56)
- Sushrut and Alex discuss how the additional ring enables ceiling tests at Purdue, eliminating the need for testing at Stony Brook. (32:07)
- Alex discusses dependencies on mirror substrates and sensor plates with Sushrut, stressing the need for collaboration with Bill and resolving start date uncertainties. (34:02)
- Alex decides to explore relocating the groove and concludes the meeting, mentioning the recording will be shared for documentation. (54:21)
Next Steps:
- Charles to update the schedule incorporating inputs from Sushrut regarding the aerogel wall, sensor plane design, and manufacturing pieces. (5:10)
- Alex to send the step file of the outer mirror design to assist in the mirror mounting design process. (23:49)
- Sushrut to explore the possibility of adding a groove to the end ring for the O-ring and report back by Thursday on the machining schedule. (46:55)
- Alexander and Sushrut to discuss offline the option of machining a rectangular groove on the already machined quarters and a dovetail on the remaining one to compare which method works better. (54:00)
