It's so claustrophobic at night.

Go for P6 movement to pre-install position - 1.3m distance.

I like how they iterated what units things will be working in (despite that we've been using metric on these things for awhile now). Just a cute touch.

Stopped over P5, waiting for motions to dampen out.

Now doing "130 brief" for next movement procedures and warnings.

Now moving to 30cm position.

Fine tuning alignment.

Awsome orbital construction going on!

MKremer · « **Reply #113 on:** 10/30/2007 09:05 am »

Pressing to 15cm.

MKremer · « **Reply #114 on:** 10/30/2007 09:08 am »

Paused at 15cm. Waiting for motions to damp out.

MKremer · « **Reply #115 on:** 10/30/2007 09:12 am »

Agreed on alignment. Now doing another brief for contact, capture before continuing.

MKremer · « **Reply #116 on:** 10/30/2007 09:12 am »

Final movement started.

MKremer · « **Reply #117 on:** 10/30/2007 09:15 am »

Paused at first contact, waiting for motions to damp to check final alignment, then drive the claw to start capture.

MKremer · « **Reply #118 on:** 10/30/2007 09:19 am »

Stopped at first claw contact.

Another brief before limping arm and continuing claw closing.

MKremer · « **Reply #119 on:** 10/30/2007 09:22 am »

Arm limped. Go to drive claw closed.
