****************************************************************************** Level 2 milestones Science IPT ============================== dd. October 1, 2002 October 2002: Plan for compact and intermediate configurations finalized February 2003: Review of calibration requirements with science examples complete February 2003: Review of specifications for calibration items complete: WVR, FTS, weather station June 2003: Plan for Y+ configuration finalized September 2003: Calibration strategy finalized December 2003: Science aspects of operations plan ***complete???*** *** including Regional Support Centers? **** milestone too early?? June 2004: Plan for early science configurations complete September 2004: Review of WVR strategy complete *** wording???*** December 2004: Review of tests of calibration strategies on prototype interferometer complete December 2005: Science verification plan complete *** does this include all science aspects of commissioning or should we have a separate milestone on this? To be discussed: ================ ??? 2005: Science verification of software/pipeline data reduction? ??? : Science aspects of commissioning plan ?? ?? Any level 2 milestones on simulations?? ACA is outside baseline plan. ?? Any milestones after December 2005, such as getting real science???? Should there be a milestone for "First science results"?? We can of course make a number of milestones as different parts are commissioned, e.g. xxxx 2007: Science verification of ALMA-6 with 2 receiver bands xxxx 2008: Science verification of ALMA-6 plus total power mode xxxx 2008: Science verification of ALMA-12 with 4 receiver bands xxxx 20xx: Science verification of ALMA-32 with 4 receiver bands December 2011: Science verification of ALMA-64 with 4 receiver bands
