Ride in the Rain

On Friday, 27 February 2009 we made some minor adjustments to the three wheeled we've been working on.

Dr. Sianez, Tom, Ben, and I took the vehicle out behind Copernicus Hall, I stepped in and rode the vehicle back and forth making the turns perfectly. After several runs we went back into the lab, made adjustments, and fit the nosecone on.

That's when the rain started coming down, but we continued outside to test the vehicle with the nose cone on anyway. After 3 runs (as the wheel was kicking up water soaking the inside of the vehicle) we decided to end the night with take a few measurements for the new cover. All in all, it was a successful night.
