-
•Passive anomaly(TA4)
-
–Thermal cycling: has not moved door 4 ( range -70C to 150C)
-
–Vibration: shaker on cell 4 did not move door
-
•Failure this time presumed not due to soil
-
•Strongesthypothesis is stictionon plunger
-
•Choose next door and open Cell 0
-
–On North edge of array opposite cell 4
-
–Low possibility of soil contamination to adjacent cells with revised delivery procedure(sprinkle)
Path 2 –research
priority 2
-
•Mechanical Engineer(DonSevila) review
-
•Experiments to help with door 5
-
–Monitoring
-
–Vibration cell 4
-
–Vibration cell 5
-
•Appears Feasible to deliver to TA5 at later date(targetslit or upper opening)
-
•Develop Methodology for RA intervention
-
•Planetary Protection Waiver
-
–Mitigation
-
•Cleaning for TA
-
•Covered by foil cover during ATLO and cruise
-
•UV exposure
-
•Competes with RA rasping validation
