Flight Motor

The flight motor has been driven by the flight electronics. We can turn with enough torque to complete the 180 deg rotation in only ...

... 17 seconds (10% longer than our target but well within the 30 seconds we could live with).

We are getting science data out of the FPA through the flight software onto the ground support equipment and translating that directly into a PDS V4 compatible format (print out of part of it below). One or two issues but it works.
