Today they did a slow spin test
Today they did a slow spin test of the satellite. This is to make sure the satellite doesn't wobble. They're testing the location of the center of mass, and they want to make sure it's along the axis of the satellite. So they put me up on this giant turntable (like a record player), and spin me slowly. It's like being at an amusement park on the world's slowest carousel. But it sounds like I'll get a faster spin test soon, and I'll be dizzy for a few hours!
