Eun-Suk,

Here are what have happened after the last report. All of times here are NZT unless otherwise specified.
  • From the morning, we have started the flight mode operation through LOS connection using SFC2. Confirmed that the flight mode is working the same way as before.
  • In the morning, the payload was prepared for the hang test by having all the side walls and heat panels mounted. Also final cabling works were done.
  • In parallel, the SIP connection was prepared in CSBF OCC and Ice ROCC.
  • The payload moved out to the deck at around 12:40 PM and being prepared for the hang test.
  • From about 3 PM, the payload was in the hang test position.
  • There was a kind personal weather briefing by Ross at around 3 PM.  Expect good weather in Tuesday AM. But see a wind coming from Tuesday late afternoon. The weather briefing slide and images are uploaded in the black board.
  • Until about 5:20 PM, when the test was stopped, the CPT with the SIP and E2E (End to End, ICE to UMD SOC) test were completed. And he summary log file is in the following link.  https://elms.umd.edu/webapps/lobj-wiki-bb_bb60/wiki/CMPS_RGR_CRPG/course/Home?cmd=GetImage&systemId=CPT_withSIP_20091123__0.xls
  • The CPT with the SIP was successful. But during the E2E test with UMD SOC and CSBF OCC, there were  some number of occasions that the connections were not working well even though UMD SOC could be trained well in different connection modes.
  • I heard from Chris that there is a LOS receiver that need to be replaced and tested before the next hang test.
Here are things planned for tomorrow and future.
  • Hang test combined with the connection test. (Tue.) Possible from  9 AM (NZT) / 3 PM ( EST)
  • TCD/CD housekeeping data long-term stability check.
  • Calorimeter SPAR noisy behavior study.
  • Takes photos for the recovery plan manual update. (by Nov. 30th)
