20050625 report

CW Inclinometry of 20050625 OK

Reports for 2005                     Pointing Home Page


Inclinometry was done as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20050604  89  cw      10:47      7.6      8.7    9.7      30 )
    20050625  88  cw      10:15      9.4     10.5   11.5      35

All inclinometry and temperature data channels look; Ch13 - the #1 strain gauge - is still not functional.

The difference between the CW model resulting from these new data and the previous one of 04 Jun is shown below:

  • As before there are some broad (10deg wide), low amplitude features in the F1 difference.
  • The differences in (F1,F2,F3) are then described by rms scatters of (0.54", 0.20", 0.34") c.f. (0.41", 0.14", 0.31") previously.

  • The new CW model was merged with the (CW-CCW) template to create a new hybrid track model, which was installed at HST 10:55 on 27 Jun 2005.
  • The symmetry (defined here) is essentially unchanged from last time, and the wheel loads - as judged from strain gauge No.2 only - are OK.
