The 2002 SORCE Science Working Group Meeting is set for
July 17-19, 2002. This EOS SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment
(SORCE) meeting will focus on the variable Sun and its influence
on the terrestrial environment. We encourage the interaction
of solar scientists and scientists studying the Earth's
atmosphere and climate. Our goal is to define our present
understanding of solar/terrestrial variations and possible
relationships.
TECHNICAL
SESSIONS
Session 1. Short-term (minutes
to 2 years) solar variations and terrestrial variations.
Invited Speakers - Jeffrey Kuhn (University of Hawaii),
Jesper Schou (Stanford University), Lon Hood (University
of Arizona).
Session
2. Medium-term (1-30 years) solar variations and terrestrial
variations.
Invited Speakers - Robert Cahalan (NASA, GSFC), Peter
Pilewskie (NASA, Ames Research Center), Oran R. White (HAO,
NCAR).

Session
3. Long-term (> 30 years) solar variations and terrestrial
variations.
Invited Speakers - Jeffrey Hall (Lowell Observatory),
Judith Lean (NRL), David Rind (Goddard Institute of Space
Studies).
There
will be a combination of invited and contributed presentations
in each session focusing on the solar phenomena and the
climate phenomena. Depending on the number of abstracts
submitted, there are options for oral or poster presentations
for the contributed presentations. Abstracts for the three
sessions should be submitted by July 1 (new extended
date).

Sciences Activity -
Orbital Sciences Corporation in Dulles, Virginia.
Now
that all the SORCE instruments have been integrated and
aligned on the Instrument Module and Comprehensive Performance
Testing (CPT) completed, the month of June has been extremely
busy with the Environmental Testing well underway. The Pre-Environmental
Readiness Review (PERR) took place on May 30 at Orbital
Sciences Corporation.
The Environmental Tests involve making sure that the spacecraft
is prepared to tolerate the actual launch and
