SSC Meeting will touch on white papers in addition the instrument project updates (KPF, KCRM, ORCAS)
Interest in retirement and risk metrics
Asked for global risk analysis for instruments
Marc framed this as about age and maintenance costs
Marc makes presentation he will give to SSC tomorrow
Randy: another possible factor is configurability
Josh: are there critical vulnerabilities of things which are difficult or impossible to replace? (e.g. MOSFIRE CSU)
Percy: also there’s an accessibility or recovery time axis. e.g. Easy to fix failed filter wheel on LRIS, but not on MOSFIRE.
Marc: Perhaps talk about risk and recovery time estimates for our SSC update in November
SSC should coalesce around retirement strategies at Nov meeting
Only past metric has been needed space on the deck
