On the call: Brendan, Maurizio, Shaul, Jacques, Kris

Agenda:

• Maurizio's sims: wiki post updated https://zzz.physics.umn.edu/ipsig/calibration_simulations to better clarify discussion last week
• Andrea Zonca is now generating sims (whole focal plane?) then will run Maurizio's 4-detector sims with variable gains.
• Maurizio to ask Andrea what he's up to in terms of sims. Our priorities are 1. Maurizio's 4-detector variable gain sims, and 2. GRASP foreground pickup. Realistic noise maps for foreground extraction are not going to be needed as quickly.

• GRASP sims: still in testing mode. Andrea checking coordinate systems. Karl still available to help?

• Precession time:
  • Spacecraft is flexible 10-48 hours are fine, so plan in the report is to say that further optimization is forthcoming.
  • Baseline from Team X: 10 hours. slower precession can work with pointing requirements.

• Shaul to be out for the next 3 weeks, including next monday: back on June 18. Shaul requests that we start writing up the systematics section of the PICO report. Brendan to have a draft of the systematics section for internal WG circulation on June 1. Time for iteration by the time of Shaul's return.
