1. Progress
status
Work with the draft URD has continued together
with the subcontractor, FMI. The URD will be sent to ESTEC for comments in the
beginning of June.
The need for a new magnetometer was
discussed during
a meeting with (OKG/ELFORSK). The team has investigated this further. The
coverage in the south of Sweden should be increased to give better predictions.
A place and financing has been identified. The type of magnetometer
that is found
to be most suitable is also used by FMI.
