30 September 2003 Status at The Aquatic Hillcrest

Headline: RES and Radar Running!!!

This morning we met twice.  We provided an updated discrepancy list reflecting yesterday's work.  We also discussed the beginning of official tests.  We believe that formal tests will begin today with the 120 hour test, and test 15C will be performed in the morning, so that Captain Haan may analyze the data prior to his departure at noon.  In the meantime we are completing the dry runs that were held up for lack of a functional ITU.

Brad and I traveled to Frankfurt this afternoon and shipped the 3 row receivers and 1 noise detector back to Syracuse for repair.  Brad took the car and the 278-4155 cell phone back to The Aquatic Hillcrest; I am at the Frankfurt Airport to fly home tomorrow.

Ron re-seated the boards in the RES SPU and everything came up, passed BITE, and is running.  The team also completed dry run of 15E P2.

We were told that the BWB has received the necessary letter from the Material Command to allow unofficial testing to begin in the morning.  The testing will not be official or signed for until the requisite agreement is sent by BWB to LMCO and signed and returned by LMCO.
