Eighteen inches to go and it will be ready for a pressure test.<\/p>\n<p>The team finished a second pair of mini rocket launch boxes. The first pair are for testing. They only last for one launch. The new pair will be for flight.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be flying two HD video cameras on the next flight. We began working on camera alignment. One camera will be focused on the launch boxes, the other on the flight path.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re controlling several move events on Away 38 than on a standard mission. We went back and forth on whither to use a seperate event controller and connect it to the the main controller through a serial port (this is how it&#8217;s done on the Tandem Airship), or just extend the main controller with a daughter board. The daughter board won. We cot it build last week and Saturday the systems team wrote the code for it and tested and debugged it. This took a little longer than usual, someone who shall remain nameless (yours truly), put in all three transistors backwards&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Diego and the Rocket Heaters\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/diego_heater.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Diego and the Rocket Heaters\" id=\"image490\" src=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/diego_heater.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Drew Patching Deck Plates\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/Drew_patching.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Drew Patching Deck Plates\" id=\"image491\" src=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/Drew_patching.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Karl and Emmit cutting out parts\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/Karl_Emmitt.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Karl and Emmit cutting out parts\" id=\"image492\" src=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/Karl_Emmitt.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Emmet cutting out the new reel hub\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/emmitt_cutting.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Emmet cutting out the new reel hub\" id=\"image493\" src=\"https:\/\/jpaerospace.com\/new_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/emmitt_cutting.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday we had a pretty big crowd all building, gluing, soldering and coding.
