Airbeam Shell Test

Tonight we pressurized the outer shell for the long airbeam for the high beam mission. It runs the length of the outer shop, through the door and into the electronics room. The beam is straight but ended up with a slight twist. We’re going to pull one of the seams about half out and resew to correct it.

    Will the wake of the beam generate drag sufficient to slow the half-rack’s ascent?
