This afternoon we remove the Optris 640i thermocamera from the WE viewport (see #66757) and installed it temporarily on the same viewport (ZnSe viewport of the HR surface) of the NE tower.
This afternoon we remove the Optris 640i thermocamera from the WE viewport (see #66757) and installed it temporarily on the same viewport (ZnSe viewport of the HR surface) of the NE tower.
Here are the NE payload images of the thermocamera:
Fig. 1: ITF unlocked;
Figs. 2 and 3: ITF locked in CARM_NULL;
Compared with the WE payload, the spot seen on NE mirror is much less centered and seems to be fainter as well. A more precise estimation will follow.
The thermocamera has been removed from the NE tower at ~11.15, in order to be reinstalled at WI this afternoon.
To be noted: the lamp near the viewport (see Fig. 1) was reinstalled avoiding to put it into contact with the viewport itself.
