SPACE VEHICLE HIGHLIGHT
A successful Standard Power Regulation Unit (SPRU) Final Data Review was held on Aug 24 at Engineered Magnetics, Rancho Dominguez, CA. In addition to LMMS Engineering and Quality Assurance, DCMC representatives also attended. Data from all functional testing was evaluated and trended to ensure consistent performance throughout the test program. All data anomalies were resolved, enabling the unit to be formally bought off.
