-We have heard no news from NSF regarding the pre-proposal that was submitted for ASPEN; we hope to hear soon. Sarah reported that since having received the Ocotillo CDR report on December 2 her team has been evaluating the comments and preparing a response. They also applied for some funding and are waiting to hear back. It is clear that the instrument will come together in a phased approach, bringing the three channels on line one at a time. They will start with the IFU and follow up with MOS component, which is more costly and mechanically complicated. The hope is that this would enable supported data reduction development along the way and troubleshooting as we go. It also spaces out the cost, which reduces impact on the overall observatory budget. Their goal is to have their response report back to the CDR review panel by the end of the month.+We have heard no news from NSF regarding the pre-proposal that was submitted for ASPEN; we hope to hear soon.
