Carlton Peters: I'm definitely looking forward to a launch. This will actually be the

4
00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:16.020
first mission that I've gotten to see, kind of from the PDR

5
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:20.030
time-frame preliminary design time-frame, all the way through to

6
00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:24.040
launch. We basically deal with the day-to-day activities in I.T.

7
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:28.060
And we are wrapping up a lot of our analytical cases for on orbit.

8
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:32.080
We performed our thermal vac test, which is our big

9
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:36.120
thermal test, kind of out of sequence of what we normally do. Usually it's the last

10
00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:40.160
of the environmental test. The thermal vac test involves pretty much

11
00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:44.210
every subsystem. It's the biggest most involved test. It ran for roughly

12
00:00:44.230 --> 00:00:48.240
a month and a half. The challenge of doing it first is that as we move forward in our

13
00:00:48.260 --> 00:00:52.260
other environmental tests, not necessarily disturbing the integrity of our thermal

14
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.310
design, as we move forward and have to change some things on the spacecraft.

15
00:00:56.330 --> 00:01:00.360
Once we get on orbit we start getting data and all the science information

16
00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:04.420
comes back, and all the thermal design comes in and things

17
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:08.500
look great, that will be a great rewarding experience.
