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.
