Coffee, check. Shower, check. Bags packed, check. Ready to get on the way to Houston? Oh yeah:-)
Just got the news from Dan, we are approved for flight! Lets do this!
Our Fabber made the trip to JSC with no issues. We have a few more small things to prepare and then start packing for the trip. Can't wait!!
Our Gantt chart is getting a lot less populated! 12 days to go until we head to Houston..
One last test run before packaging and shipping. Busy morning so far...
Shipping the Fabber to Houston today. Testing is done and the countdown to flight week is on.
Final touches on the fabber and a little more engineering to be done and we will be ready to ship.
Testing, testing endless testing hope to move into the next phase of the project tomorrow. Getting butterflies for Houston already!
In the Lab, working on the machine, paperwork, outreach, etc.. a busy day for all.
Got the fabber running and adjusted. Doing some cad work for testing toolpaths and proving polymer performance. Progress is good.
Flight Team Member P. Loveless brought home Design Technology's Outstanding Student Award for 2010-2011 at Ivy Tech Honors Day last night.
Construction is complete, smoke test passed, fabber has been powered up for a little over an hour now. twitpic.com/4qmhva
The team would like to thank Trialon corporation for allowing us to use their scales for weighing parts for the Fabber.
the fabber 2 after a day of classes and some assembly... motors wired and just about ready for motion! twitpic.com/4q98z1
Another long day done, time to refresh and prepare for tomorrow... hoping to be testing the fabber tomorrow and make some parts.
