Tripton

  • Still no response from Tom

    • He’s being evasive

 

Using the lander as a test stand

Discussion

  • General consensus is no

  • If we want to be hardware rich then just build a test stand

 Action items

@Evan and Peter send out DXF
@cassie find thrust, m_dot, etc. from Simulink
@tripton talk to Tom.
@Vann Wellmon make a plan for feed system cleaning
@Vann Wellmon mount the test stand

 Decisions

  1. Most likely don’t make the lander the test stand. Basically, everyone is opposed as it adds complexity and we will likely have to scrap the lander then.
