| Looking into the optics box from the window. In the centre is the square Mirror 3. Reflected in it is the round Lyot Stop (Mirror 4). There is a hole in the middle of the Lyot Stop for the calibrator lamp. The back of the lyot stop can be seen to the left of Mirror 3. The walls of the optics box have been painted with powdered carbon goop to stop reflections. At the bottom you can see some of the striped cables which carry the signals from the bolometers on a circuitous journey out of the cryostat to the Receiver. |
| Enzo checks the reflections in the optics box with a diffuse light source. |
| A rather overexposed image after reassembling the cryostat, looking through the windows in all the radiation shields down into the optics box. |
| Mark makes a window on which he can record the position of the optical elements to see if they change as the cryostat cools. |
| Marie, Matt and Gaelen in the lounge. |
| Matt and Enzo watch as Mark puts the finishing touches on the window. |
| Radar Hill completely obscured by fog. |
| David and Itziar disappear into the fog after dinner. |
| Enzo, behind the window watching the cryostat cool. In the foreground is the nitrogen fill line |
| Looking over Enzo's shoulder at the cryostat. You can see the red light which was installed in the optics box reflecting off Mirror 3 through the window. |
| Impressive strain relief on a cable on the base. |
| The rocket facility. |
| A Maxus Rocket. |
| The entrance to the explosives storage. You aren't apparently allowed to do anything inside it. |
| The river north of Esrange. |
| The river north of Esrange. |
| The river north of Esrange. There is a fair bit of ice still floating in it. |
| Ed tries to fly. |
| The Faraday transmitter shack. |
| Matt's expresses doubt at the seaworthiness of the Esrange rowboat. |
| Every good rocket range needs some field artillery. |
| The rocket facility, again. |
| One of the dust machines at work in the distance. |
| A dust machine we found abandoned but still running, on the road. |
| Mark, Enzo, Peter, and Jeff working on the optical alignment. |
| Dusk an hour before midnight at the balloon base. Now the sun sets about ten minutes before midnight and rises again around 1:30. |
| Tracks in the sand. |
