This week engineers at the Gantry dropped a 2,300 pound (1,043 kg) piece of foam-wrapped steel into the Hydro Impact Bain to test out procedures for upcoming swing tests with the Orion MPCV test articles. The test was successful and the engineers received good data and imagery from high-speed cameras. Phase 0 testing at the basin will begin this su
This week engineers at the Gantry dropped a 2,300 pound (1,043 kg) piece of foam-wrapped steel into the Hydro Impact Bain to test out procedures for upcoming swing tests with the Orion MPCV test articles. The test was successful and the engineers received good data and imagery from high-speed cameras. Phase 0 testing at the basin will begin this summer.
