Electronics Integration


We have integrated the CAP (Commandable Apex Package), the inflation ports and the wiring harnesses. We were told today that we might be all clear to fly early next week. There are two other groups here preparing for flights. One is a 5200 lb package from JPL which contains several different experiments that do remote sensing of the constituents of our atmosphere. Some of these instruments are so sensitive that they can study the atmospheres of other planets. A photo of the compatibility check-out of the JPL stack is included with this post.
