More good news! Back at SHI, there was some vibration coming from the mechanical cooler (the part that keep the neon cold for an extra-long time while I'm up in space). The team was worried that it would affect me. But here at ISAS, the vibration seems to be totally gone. They made some changes in wiring and stuff, so that probably fixed it.

I've really learned a lot about spaceflight missions, and it's a huge adventure. There are so many people and places and pieces of equipment, and it all comes together in the end. Things don't always go perfectly, but the people working on the mission come up with some really clever ways to make things work.
