PROJECT HISTORY

Fall 2005	+ HQ signed the FAD. + KSC signed contract for the Taurus XL, under SELVS.
Summer 2005	+ HQ authorized the full Glory Mission on a dedicated Taurus-class LV. + Mission and Observatory PDRs were successfully completed.
Spring 2005	+ Spacecraft work was re-started. + Project studied APS and TIM as flight-of-opportunity on NPOESS.
Winter 2004/2005	+ Instrument PDRs were successfully completed.
Early 2004	+ Letter contracts awarded for both instruments and the S/C based on approved JOFOCs.
Spring/ Summer 2003	+ Total Solar Irradiance measurement added. + Project studied both flight-of-opportunity and stand-alone mission scenarios + GSFC identified VCL spacecraft as viable option Ð S/C met requirements for both the Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor and the Total Irradiance Monitor + Solar Irradiance Gap Filler (SIGF) mission was combined with Aerosol mission + HQ authorized the Project to proceed with stand-alone mission.
