Sue, Josh and Barth. | |
The new CSBF logo. You may wish to compare it with the old NSBF logo. | |
On the base. | |
Frank, Victor and Robin unload the truck. | |
Enzo and Catia working in the highbay. Enzo is attempting to set up the router. | |
Everything unloaded in the bay. Things of note include the ISC crate (black, left foreground), with the inner frame behind it, and the chin behind that, the outer frame on the right, with and large empty grey box behind it that we didn't want in Toronto any more, so we threw it on the truck. | |
The outer frame regains its legs. | |
Old-timey Palestine. | |
The Fig Tree, where we had lunch. | |
ARCADE. | |
The ARCADE logo. | |
Another shot of ARCADE with Josh and Barth in the background. | |
The large thing on the left is the ARCADE dewar, basically a large bucket, which is filled with liquid helium. The rest of ARCADE (on the right) slides down into the dewar from the top. | |
A very large O-ring on the top of the ARCADE dewar. | |
The top of the payload. The top of it can rotate, which is why things don't seem to match up. | |
Enzo inspects the ARCADE dewar. | |
The inside of the dewar. As advertised, it really is just a big bucket. | |
Another shot of the top. | |
A view down one of the large feed horns. | |
A close up of the experiment. The cone like structures are the feed horns: different sizes for different wavelengths of radiation. The horns are all tilted thirty degrees from straight up (but they don't all point in the same direction, which is not a problem, since the whole telescope spins). | |
ARCADE's electronics backpack. | |
An important looking bit of plumbing in our bay. | |
Stage one of setting up the highbay: Barth's computer is up and running, and Enzo has both the DAS and the PV on the bench for checkout. | |
Don't worry Matt: we've got you covered. | |
Applebee's mailbox. | |
The rear end of the Toronto Jitney. Maybe that spoiler's creating too much drag that it's slowing us down. | |
Arwen opened up. | |
Enzo reprograms Arwen's BIOS. | |
Barth doing what Barth does a lot of: wading through kst emails. | |
SIP Simulator (that's the laptop there) set up, with sneeze guard in place. The SIP Simulator forms the upper echelon of the telemetry nook. | |
Enzo dismantles the ACS to replace a DC/DC converter in the power module. | |
The lower portions of the telemetry nook: Arwen, the bit sync and Galadriel, all ready to go. | |
Another important piece in the BLAST integration jigsaw puzzle, XMMSfoo, falls into place. | |
Enzo soldering off the old DC/DC. | |
Enzo prepares the PV for the World Cup final. (In case you couldn't guess, he'll be cheering for Italy.) |
