The last system, the laser experiment is just about complete. Today the sensor to array controller interface was built and all the connectors assembled. One more sensor and then on to all the power plugs. It should be all wrapped up tomorrow.<\/p>\n
All of the other new systems are complete, however there is still a lot of packaging to do. On Saturday we conducted the last telemetry range test. It was our best results yet. We’ve declared it good and the current setup will be the flight configuration.<\/p>\n
