I arrived at ISAS today
I arrived at ISAS today. That's the Japanese Space Agency outside of Tokyo. It was another long truck trip, so I'm glad I'm here. Here's a map.
It's great to be here, since this is where the spacecraft is. In fact, I'm now in the same room as the spacecraft. The room is bigger than when I was at SHI in Niihama, and there's more people around.
The only thing I'm a little nervous about is that I have to go through another vibration test. This one will simulate some of the shaking that will occur during launch. It will make sure the dewar and I have been put together strongly enough. I've been through enough vibration tests on my own back at Goddard, but these tests still make me nervous. If something breaks, it's alot harder to fix now.
