WORK IN PROGRESS

Pneumatic Components Assembly

This work is under way in San Diego.  A convenient location has been confirmed for assembly and testing of the pneumatic manifolds to deliver the various gases to the launch tube.  Each manifold will consist of valves gauges and connects mounted on a panel to allow for easy transportability and assembly.
