			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had a lot going on at the lab yesterday. In the early afternoon, Brian and Sirus continued hacking on the ground software, while 3ric, Leigh and I got the thermal chamber going again. We tested the <a href="http://bigredbee.com/BeeLine.htm">BeeLine</a> failsafe beacon, and it performed marvelously, showing only a very slight frequency drift (5kHz or so) down at -60C.</p>
<p><a href="http://weak.org/gallery/places/pna/lab_04_26_08/IMG_3915.JPG"><img src="http://weak.org/gallery/places/pna/lab_04_26_08/.cache/120x180-IMG_3915.JPG" alt="" width="120" height="180" /></a> <a href="http://weak.org/gallery/places/pna/lab_04_26_08/IMG_3922.JPG"><img src="http://weak.org/gallery/places/pna/lab_04_26_08/.cache/240x160-IMG_3922.JPG" alt="" /></a> <a href="http://weak.org/gallery/places/pna/lab_04_26_08/IMG_3923.JPG"><img src="http://weak.org/gallery/places/pna/lab_04_26_08/.cache/120x180-IMG_3923.JPG" alt="" width="120" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>With a successful round of thermal testing under our belts, 3ric and Leigh then worked on getting our ground-station Internet gateways configured and running, and I worked on getting our new glider assembled.</p>

<p>Phil assembled a rig for thermal testing our glider flight controller and it&#8217;s data acquisition, which involved some fairly intricate soldering:</p>

<p>As I was getting ready to pack it in for the night, there was continued thermal testing. Phil&#8217;s thermal tests of the flight controller and data acquisition were quite successful, while Dan took a much more hands-on approach to thermal testing the science payload controllers:</p>

<p>All in all, a good day at the lab. It&#8217;s good to see things coming together, and have everyone working so hard on getting things built and working together.</p>
