[Dsg-rich] load test of stiffening tool complete

[Amrit Yegneswaran]

dear patrizia, 
as tyler mentions thanks to mark loewus, bobby thomas, and dsg for having conducted the load test successfully. 

in particular i would like to specially appreciate mark loewus and bobby thomas. 

mark was with us every step of the way advising us, guiding us, and participating in all activities. 
he was so integral to the entire process that in my eyes he became a part of the dsg. 

bobby's pro-activity just blew my mind. 
in my 27 years here, i'ven't experienced such pro-activeness and such enthusiasm. 
bobby saw that we needed assistance and started to contribute all the way to the end. 
and this despite me, because of my poor eyesight, mistaking him for calvin! 
bobby's participation side by side with mark eased my marked anxiety significantly. 

yeah , it is true : a few good men are indeed enough for things to be OK. 
thanks to all again. 
goodnight and godbless. 
amrit 




in particular,

Hello, 

This afternoon, the RICH stiffening tool was load tested. Photos taken during the load test will be sent tomorrow. 

Yesterday and this morning, Marc, Brian, Pablo, George, and Amrit completed the assembly of the stiffening tool on the transport trolley. 

This afternoon the stiffening tool was taken to the Test Lab for the load test. During the load test, the stiffening tool was tested in the horizontal position and at ~65-degree vertical position. For each position, the stiffening tool was held in place with the test load for ten minutes. 

After the load test, the stiffening tool and trolley were left in the Test Lab. Tomorrow morning, we will move it back to the EEL and disassemble the stiffening tool from the trolley. 

Thank you to Mark Loewus for writing the lift plan for the load test and providing crane support and also to Bobby Thomas for assisting during the load test. 

Best regards, 
Tyler
