Every corner of the shop was in action on Saturday.
The Tandems main flight controller was brought back on line. It had undergone a major overhaul. Panels for two new parachute were cut out.
We’re ramping up for quite a few flight this year. Over the next month we’ll be replicating equipment for five vehicle. Three of the vehicles will be high racks. Foam was flying as eight decks were cut out.
The last six panels of the new balloon bag were sew together. At 28 feet a piece it was quite a job.
We moving from a wood and wire to a metal and wood version of the crew module. The frames for the couches were assembled. In a few months it will be ready for training and fit studies.
We also did some simulator work and in the middle of it all the Sacramento NSS had a meeting. Definitely a space day!
Don’t bother me I’m debugging.
