       Agenda and Minutes

1. Updates and plans.

• RS - no word from WMSCI after sending them the slides, nor from his dept. regarding fee reimbursement.
• MH - has accepted a part time research assistant position in the College of Business. (In addition to his regular full time job.)
• VJB - reported on new results that include vague failure dates from planet4589.
• DB - reported on models for moving window size 15 maximums.
• Registration and etc. fees: Any news? RS paid $640 for WMSCI and also applied for reimbursement from his dept. PT paid $400 for FTC and is awaiting news on reimbursement from the Graduate School.

2. Background literature update.

• Some interesting videos are at the Kartik Gada channel such as  at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuRX67CJhaOT98Jdjh85CEQ which we discussed previously.

For general reference here are some generic questions about articles (and videos):

       a. What is the source? 

       b. What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper? 

       c. Why is that advance important? 

       d. What important questions arise from the paper for future research? 

       e. What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer? 

       f. What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)? 

       g. What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals? 

       h. Questions from the group? 

3. Reading and discussion: 

    a. Hu et al. 2015, A survey on life prediction of equipment. We read up to section 2.1 so next time we will start with 2.1.

    b. We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like a good paper for us to read.

    c. MH suggests a short book called Future Spaceflight Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly with the ESA.

    d. MH suggests Pantelis Koutroumpis, The Productivity Paradox, a report.
