20131115 future instrumentation timeline 11/18 SAC 11/26 project week 1/20-22/2014 User's meeting end of Jan. 2014 decision on FMOS decommission early Feb. 2014 S14B CfP budget PFS NAOJ's involvement to the development under discussion required realistic budget plan waiting for the response from the PFS team they will ask us for an additional budget for the instrument ‾$13M in addition to the telescope modification (floor, electricity, telescope, CAL, ... ‾$5M+$2M+staff) ULTIMATE-Subaru kakenhi special promotion $5M for 5 years new frontier $3.6M for 5 years foundation S $2M for 5 years (from 2020) international partnership is TBD budget ‾$16M for GLAO ‾$12M for new NIR instrument human resource ‾20FTE/year for both projects (2014-2020) ‾15FTE/year without external budget ULTIMATE-Subaru ‾15FTE/year (2015-2021) ‾5FTE from external budget Hayano-san has several people in mind outside of Subaru and international collaboration once NAOJ HQ approved the project, we can create positions PFS needs ‾$20M more money they will need at least ‾$13M from NAOJ plus international consortium modification fee (‾$5M) is already approved by NAOJ HQ so far, no request about the additional cost to NAOJ HQ if Subaru is involved in the development of PFS itself, we should be very careful how we finish the project Subaru is going to share the responsibility lessons from FMOS proposal for FMOS early decommission reduce maintenance load keep operation of FMOS until S15A decision by the end of Jan. 2014 discussions with SAC and in the User's meeting need to negotiate to UK FMOS community decommission
