PROGRAM SUMMARY
Scheduled Percentage of Completion 98.5%
Actual Percentage This Date 95.1%
During October the Stereocomparator has been
prepared for the Part I of the In-Plant Acceptance Test.
Many last minute hardware changes have been
made, particularly related to the interferometers, the
counting logic, and the inclusion of the interface for the
diagnostic computer program.
The individual elements of the optical system have
been tested earlier
and no difficulty is anticipated
with this phase of the hardware.
The existing schedule requires that Part I of the
Acceptance Test begin on November 16 and be completed by
November 25. In order to continue the computer programming
work for Part II of the Acceptance Test (to be performed in
December, 1970), the Part I testing will be conducted on the
afternoon shift and on the weekend.

The actual time required to perform the tests,
assuming there are no operating problems, is relatively
short. Thus, it is expected that the 10 day period avail-
able for testing should be quite ample.
The technical monitor visited arly in October STAT
for the purpose of conducting a routine review of the pro-
gram status at this time.
The Stereocomparator is presently on schedule.

Task 2
SCHEDULING AND PLANNING
Scheduled Percentage of Completion 100%
Actual Percentage This Date 100%
In the September, 1970 report, completion for
fl the in-plant Acceptance Test was scheduled for
77
January 15, 1971. The period from the commencement
date of December 11, 1970 to January 15, 1971 was
exceptionally long because of the holiday season with
the attendant general work disruptions anticipated during
such periods.
? For this reason, an "earliest possible" schedule
revision is suggested, which, if all goes well, will allow
the prformance of Part I of the Acceptance Test between
? November 16 and November 25. Since this work must be
Li
done on a non-interfering basis with the other activities
17,
.L0 incidental to the completion of the Stereocomparator hard-
7 ware, it will be necessary to perform the tests after
'Lz
7:00 p.m. during the week, and all day on Saturday and
Sunday, November 21 and 22.

Since there is no contingency built into a schedule
of this sort, it is not possible to form a fixed schedule,
but instead, the interested parties will be kept informed
as to the progress of the work during the first half of
November.
Assuming that the Part I Acceptance Test is per-
formed according to schedule, the Part II Acceptance Test
procedure will take place in the period December 14 to
December 18, 1970.
If the in-plant Acceptance Test buy-off is as
scheduled, it will then be possible to disassemble and
ship the Stereocomparator so as to arrive at the final site
Immediately after the New Year's holiday.
This would improve the October 5 schedule by more than
one month. The completion date of the final Acceptance Test
might thus be April 2 rather than May 7.

MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT
Project 342 - September,1970
This technical report?is for the month of September,
1970. The report is prepared according to
specification TD1001 (as modified).
1. During September work on the final integration con-
tinued. The non-realtime portion of the program was
demonstrably completed. The background portion of
the program was also integrated and demonstrated,
as far as can be without real camera data. It was
also demonstrated that the subprogram RECALL can
successfully drive the stages.
All subroutines and drivers for the Stereocomparator
have been coded and unit tested at this time.
2. During October Informatics' personnel will continue
final integration as long as the Stereocomparator
hardware remains available. During this time the
foreground portion of the program will be integrated
and demonstrated. When this is done, if (1) the
