WEAVE Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs) held at the IAC

13/06/2014
WEAVE is an international project with IAC participation, including a Severo Ochoa postdoc working on the development of specific science analysis tools, part of the instrument Science Data System (SDS). Two PDRs of specific WEAVE subsystems have been held at IAC. On June 10th, it was organized the "PDR of the SDS for the WEAVE surveys", where all the SDS systems were reviewed by external experts, before starting the final design phase. This review was conducted for each subsystem, to evaluate the progress and technical adequacy of the selected design approaches, with a focus on the compatibility between science requirements and preliminary design. On June 12th, the "PDR for the WEAVE prime focus corrector translation subsystem" was also held at the IAC.
