Current Progress
Propeller assembly is pretty tricky. It takes three folks about an hour then everybody needs a break afterwards. The team has gotten three blade assembled. One more and we have a set of two for Tandem.
We also conducted a instrument calibration test for the quad engine’s load sensor, did maintenance and re tuned the ground tracking antenna and even managing to figure out what was wrong with the equipment generator in the mission control van.
