Boschaero\CSC Daily Report
July & August Data Collect
Redstone
 |
This is the 4FPA Sensor mounted on the ISL/Bosch stabilized pan and tilt unit. |
 |
The racks are strapped in and ready for flight. |
 |
Buddy cools the sensors with liquid nitrogen. |
 |
After several test flights we determined that John should have some padding to kneel on and a hinged safety guard across the door. The guard is flipped across the door way when John crawls in front, and lowered during data collection. |
 |
Several days have gone by now. We have held for weather conditions to improve. Mike and Casey pose for a shot. |
 |
Glenn also gets a pose. |
 |
John is harnessed and ready for action. |
 |
Buddy and John are ready to collect data. |
 |
As you can see, John gets close to the open door during calibration tests. |
 |
Once we cross over the Tennessee River we will be on Redstone Arsenal. |
 |
This tower is where other CSC Researchers are collecting similar data. Unfortunately, one of the airborne sensors was misbehaving and we were forced to return to base. |
 |
Another day. John and Buddy study the passenger briefing. |
 |
Take-off from Moontown (3M5). |
 |
Calibration tests. |
 |
Our target area was bordering 565. Our turn around point fell just out side of the Arsenal. |
 |
After the mission was complete, Buddy and Casey unload the gear. |
 |
The truck is packed with gear and data. A good mission was had by all. :) |
