WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS FOR WEEK ENDING 04 SEPTEMBER 1998:
STANFORD HIGHLIGHT
Ms. Ming Luo has successfully completed testing the sixth
science mission
SQUID package. This achievement allows for
"cherry picking" the best four
SQUIDs as the primary
flight SQUIDs while maintaining the remaining two
SQUIDs
as flight backups. Photo 1: Ming Luo Photo 2: SQUID

Relativity Mission spacecraft electrical power distribution
has been
successfully validated during the recently
completed power-on phase of
spacecraft testing.
These tests verified that all switched and unswitched
power leads (including pyro functions) functioned properly
and are of the
correct polarity. Power distribution
testing also validated the correctness
of the Power
Distribution Unit command harness. Photo: LMMS Engineer
