EVE INSTRUMENT ARRIVAL

Narration: Andrea Mattern, SDO Mechanical Engineer
  Danielle Vigneau-Grace, SDO Instrument Lead

Transcript:
The SDO instrument arrives using Fed Ex custom critical, white glove service. Shipping this way allows us to control the temperature and the humidity throughout the shipment process. Here you see some of the ground support equipment for the EVE instrument being unloaded from the truck. And here you have the spacecraft simulator, and the blue box contains the EVE instrument itself. This was the first instrument to arrive for SDO. The SDO team is moving the shipping container down the hallway to the clean room tent where it will have a post-shipment checkout. It is important to do functional testing to make sure nothing happened during the shipment. The EVE instrument is being lifted with the crane and is going to be loaded onto a rolling dolly and it will remain on the dolly in order to be transported from activity to activity.
