In the left picture, Shirley Paul completes the wiring for the star
tracker. The flight tracker and its shade are black and mounted next to the
cryostat simulator. Gary Cooper is working on the wiring for the
heaters and potentiometers on the solar array deployment mechanisms.
George Mooney is installing one of the solar array frames. The
picture on the right shows the solar array frames on the spacecraft
during a fit check. The solar array modules will be bonded to these
frames next week.
Next week we will run two days of the end-to-end test and three days of the comprehensive.
