  5. Recent developments • Nov 2005: ASI release of the Italian National Aero-Space Plan (PASN) for 2006-2008  WSO/UV is inside the PASN The Italian participation

  6. RosCosmos/ASI Interagency Meeting in Rome on Dec 21 2005 in part devoted to WSO/UV The Italian participation

  7. Recent developments • ASI & NWWG decision (end of January 2006) stimulated by a strong science interest1 in the optical/UV cameras. • Decision document for the WSO/UV FCU Adopted by the WSO Implementation Committee on Feb 21, 2006. • The Italian participation to the WSO/UV Project - A review on the status of the project for the INAF SC evaluation (April 8th, 2006) The Italian participation

  8. The Field Camera Unit • Serendipitous science during spectroscopic observations • Planned studies of specific targets Specifications (WSO-VIL-INST-CNF-0003 (21 Feb 2006) The Italian participation

  9. ASI call for a Phase A/B1 study • The technical project of "Field Camera Unit" (FCU); • The definition of programmatic and cost of the Italian contribution; • The choice of the imagers passbands • A report on the key science objectives of the instruments The Italian participation

  10. The Italian participation

  11. Project development plan To = 09/2006? Time

  12. Other issues • Science operation center (??)  There is an interest from ASI and INAF. • MoU between ASI and RosCosmos after the Phase B study, but from interagency high level discussion (March 2006) we are going towards a MoU. The Italian participation

  13. INAF • The Italian Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica was very hostile toward WSO/UV after the ESA/AWG report on 13 Jan 2006 (ASTRO(2006)3). • The Italian NWWG produced a document1 and gave a presentation2 to the INAF Science Council to defend the project (science case, recent developments, programmatics). • We succeeded to obtain the recommendation of WSO/UV in the INAF Long Term Plan. • The Italian participation to the WSO/UV Project - A review on the status of the project for the INAF SC evaluation (April 8th, 2006) • The Italian participation to the WSO/UV Project - Presentation to INAF Science Council, Apr 21th, 2006 The Italian participation
