We fired rocket engines in the rain and mounted monitors and keyboards in the crew module mock up.
The team really moved forward on our MHD generator research. We did four test firings today. Two with the new porcelain unit and two with unit number two reconfigured as a multi channel system. The first two firing were is the pouring down rain under an awning. Neither rain nor sleet, nor gloom of night….
All produced results that are moving us forward, (the multi channel unit’s data was just weird though).
Ed and Paul were at it with the hot glue and Velcro outfitting the crew module mock up. We’re really starting to get a feel for what it will be like to operate in the vehicle.
