15th Japan Media Arts Festival

I’m spending the week in Tokyo to attend the ceremony and h.elp setup the High Rack in the National Museum of Art

Here’s Anthony working on High Racks for the next series of test flights.

We just shipped a replica of Away 63 off to Japan for be displayed in Tokyo next week.

This was a repeat of test 57 with a single motor. This was to rule out any problems with two separate plasma sources. If the two plasma sources function as one then this test should show performance reduced by at least half. If the performance stays the same or increases it would indicate that the two plasma sources interfere with each other.

The data showed voltage slightly under half of the duel engine results.  This is what we were expecting but we had to know before we could move on.

Paul is adding landing bumpers to Away 67 getting ready for the spring launch campaign.

(actually it’s being prepped for shipping)
