00:00:08.575 --> 00:00:12.012
We're in the high bay
of building 29 and we have the

3
00:00:12.012 --> 00:00:15.349
vibration facility which is
going to help us test the forces

4
00:00:15.349 --> 00:00:17.951
that we are going to see on
the telescope during our launch


5
00:00:17.951 --> 00:00:18.852
environment.


6
00:00:18.986 --> 00:00:22.723
OTIS is the combination of the
Optical Telescope Element

7
00:00:22.723 --> 00:00:25.425
and the Integrated Science
Instrument Module

8
00:00:25.425 --> 00:00:27.427
which basically amounts to the
science portion

9
00:00:27.427 --> 00:00:28.862
of the
JWST Mission.

10
00:00:29.329 --> 00:00:31.598
The telescope is
currently being integrated

11
00:00:31.598 --> 00:00:33.634
in our SSDIF facility

12
00:00:33.634 --> 00:00:38.972
and we will be moving from
the SSDIF facility into our

13
00:00:38.972 --> 00:00:42.676
vibration and acoustic
facilities for testing.

14
00:00:43.076 --> 00:00:46.546
The mechanical engineering team
is preparing by simulating some

15
00:00:46.546 --> 00:00:51.118
of the activities that we will
be doing using a mock up of the

16
00:00:51.118 --> 00:00:54.755
telescope and by practicing
these steps the mechanical

17
00:00:54.755 --> 00:00:58.992
engineering team is making
sure that OTIS is protected from

18
00:00:58.992 --> 00:01:02.763
particles and that its
safeguarded during the test.

19
00:01:02.763 --> 00:01:07.801
So the way we're moving OTIS is
by surrounding the telescope and

20
00:01:07.801 --> 00:01:12.739
OTIS with a tent which is a
four story structure, I-beam

21
00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:16.643
structure that helps protect
OTIS when it's outside the

22
00:01:16.643 --> 00:01:20.147
cleanroom like when we're
doing the tests out here

23
00:01:20.147 --> 00:01:22.583
and basically works like a
shower cap,

24
00:01:22.583 --> 00:01:24.351
it protects the hair
from getting wet.

25
00:01:24.351 --> 00:01:28.055
Here it protects OTIS from
particles and the environment.

26
00:01:28.055 --> 00:01:32.259
Goddard needs to conduct the
sine vibration and acoustic

27
00:01:32.259 --> 00:01:38.398
tests for OTIS primarily so we
can demonstrate and verify that

28
00:01:38.398 --> 00:01:42.369
our mechanical design will
withstand the loads that it will

29
00:01:42.369 --> 00:01:45.539
see when it launched
on the Ariane 5 Rocket.

30
00:01:46.006 --> 00:01:49.810
We do these pre-tests as a
strength qualifier, workmanship,

31
00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:52.679
make sure everything has been
put together, an our analysis is

32
00:01:52.679 --> 00:01:56.516
right and we don't send anything
to launch that will potentially

33
00:01:56.516 --> 00:01:58.785
break during launch.
