CASCADES - Update - January 16, 2005
Much progress is being made, sequence testing has occurred and the vibration tests will happen shortly. This picture really shows how much progress has been made. It is an image of the main payload detector and the vertical test booms are deployed. Rob Michell and Kevin Rhoades are the two people in the picture.
The spin balance tests and the tests for moment of inertia have been completed. These basically involve spinning the payload vertically and horizontally to try and see if the weight is distributed evenly around both the horizontal and vertical axises.
