Conclusions.
Assume discussions begin with a US partner on the 1st January. We have to understand the scientific requirements. Review schedule, 14th Feb. cost profile: preliminary version 1st April, more realistic version end April.
Analyse the spending in this financial year.
The committee recognised as the difficult situation vis-a-vis the NASA selection process. However, assume that the US funding start will be April 1 1999.
