Fast Tracking

• Can we dispense with PDR?
• Duplicate NIRI during CDS, starting immediately.
• Order detector immediately.
• Order Detector Controller soon.
• Have Test Cryostat ready for engineering
  detector.
• Start optical manufacture before CDR?
• Start mechanical manufacture before CDR?
• Start Spectrograph Trial Assembly as parts become
  available.
• Optics and Engineering Detector in Cryostat for
  first cool-down.
• Science Detector in Test Cryostat during NIFS 1st
  2nd cool-down.
