Dear,

The hang test for the CREAM-V has completed. Please find the attached log file for details. I will post an update version of complete CSBF integration log file on the black board.

It was started from 5:30 AM (EDT) and finished at 1:00 PM (EDT). Data flow and commanding from the UMD SOC was done also.

After the payload returns to the high bay, the weight without rotator was measured to be 3690 lbs. It is comparable with the last year's 3655 lbs.

Now the payload is in LOS mode and started muon run in flight mode. Will have a long term muon run during weekend together with some remaining works like hsk box test.

On Monday, TDRSS connection run will be done. On Tuesday, the instrument will be packed into a sea container. The same for the GSE crates.

We would like to thank a lot for the supports of all the members who worked hard for this integration possible and successful.

Best, MooHyun
