6/15/18: Continued progress

DB reported that he has gone through the analysis spreadsheets and flagged all the columns that are not used, but not actually deleted them (at least not yet). This simplified the updating process considerably when new curated data for international missions becomes available.

RS reported that the OAS paper abstract needs some revisions. He has sent his suggestion to HA.

VK reported that there was no obvious dependency or connection between satellite data and extraterrestrial mission data. This is good in the sense that both types of data can usefully be incorporated into an overall metric of progress in space exploration, which DB is hoping to be able to do a major update on by the end of the summer.
      Also VK presented some new data mining results which used some more sophisticated algorithms than at the basic level.

HA was not available but emailed to thank VK for the new graph. He is at a workshop currently.

JS was not available but has said he would try to forward some curated data in time for DB to incorporate into his analysis spreadsheet system.
