Notes from conversation 961017 with EJL re Bristol fax:
=======================================================
- Super Arcas mass budget prob. too low; thrust number is averaged over
burn time but seems awfully low; quoted 7g accel. is way too low;

- Orion gives us enough mass (28 lb) and will probably cost us CD$80K if
we don't take a US experimenter on board (which we DON'T want to do);

- Let Bristol handle provision of TM since they'll have to do it anyway;

- Need to negotiate with both Bristol (for payload integration and
launch support) and Akjuit (for launch provision) ASAP; need to provide
fairly detailed sketch of experiment/payload configuration so Bristol
can quote a realistic number; need letters from both Bristol and Akjuit
to accompany proposal, stating what they'll provide for what cost; these
numbers will be binding so they need as much information as possible;

- Talk with Duane Sniezek to find out how much SciTec will want of
payload construction - make sure there's no overlap between SciTec and
Bristol services;

- Let Bristol worry about chute specification and provision;

- What about payload dynamics?  We need to get some information about
this ASAP!

- Must decide whether to have full tape backup of raw telemetry; Swedes
waiving it for Odin - prepared to lose the odd pass since so many
passes; we only get one kick at the cat; what cost?

- Onboard Data Processing team have requested onboard data storage;
Russians have flown a hard drive (but did it work afterward??); Ted
wants to try it to see what'll happen; might work on an Orion at 6-8g;

Not discussed:
- cost of remote site launches
