AMS-02 New Design (April 2010 - February 2011)
After the evaluation of the ESTEC tests results, the partecipants to the Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM), including NASA representatives, agree to a Permanent Magnet configuration. AMS launch will therefore move to end of February.
This implies some modification of the Tacker configuration including a new design for the external tracker planes configuration.
Pictures of the production:
- Clean room sas
Just a souvenir of our daily ritual.
- Airex spacer
- Bonds
In these pictures, we can see bonds of the VA-PCB.
Some of these bonds are oblique because they have been touched.
- Layers
- Light tight Airex
Old and new versions: in the new version, a kapton tape is glued on the Airex to prevent electrical contact between the hybrid box and the capacitors.
- Hybrids production
