The first batch of custom-built components has arrived in the mail and from the University of Arizona Machine Shop, a full-featured, solutions provider for all things custom built. The shop manager Larry Acedo has worked on dozens of space craft, world-class telescopes, and inventions of all specs and abilities. He maintains a small showcase of the myriad array he and his associates have built, over the decades. It’s worth a visit, even if you don’t have something for Larry to immediately entertain.
At the same time, Kai and Griffin hung the four rows of 3″ x 1.5″ 80-20 aluminum rails that will be the wall-mounted backbone of the 4-bed CO2 scrubber in the Experimental Air Revitalization Laboratory (EARL) at SAM. This system enables infinite adjustment in both the x and y directions, and can safely support hundreds of kilograms.
