WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS FOR WEEK ENDING 9 July 1999:
STANFORD HIGHLIGHT
The gyroscope payload test team has successfully completed the room
temperature testing of flight gyroscopes 3 and 4. The testing included a
trial caging, levitations of the gyroscopes, a 0.3 Hz spin of each
gyroscope, and an offset of each spinning gyroscope to its spinup location.
After completing the testing of gyroscope 3 and 4, the probe was rotated
and reconfigured to allow similar testing on gyroscopes 1 and 2. The team
members involved in this work include Rob Brumley, Bruce Clarke, Russ
Lesse, Chris Gray, and Dorenne Ross.
