Team created a test vessel to test out the concept of determining LOX load level. We utilized a steel cylinder capped at one end and strapped thermocouples along the outside. We utilized alcohol and dry ice (-110 degree) as our test solution. As we gradually filled up the test vessel we determined that we could detect the loading level by the differences in the temperatures at various points on the cylinder. This is the technique we will utilize on the LOX tank. The team began mounting the thermocouples onto the LOX tank.]]> http://www.asa-houston.org/Projects/Blog-CE/index.php?entry=entry090502-102755 2009-05-02T00:00:00Z 2009-05-02T00:00:00Z http://www.asa-houston.org/Projects/Blog-CE/index.php?entry=entry090425-103117 2009-04-25T00:00:00Z 2009-04-25T00:00:00Z http://www.asa-houston.org/Projects/Blog-CE/index.php?entry=entry080420-231742 2008-04-21T00:00:00Z 2008-04-21T00:00:00Z

- Our video machine hung up. That is the computer at the test stand that has a Web Cam and a digital camera connected via USB. We were controller that PC using VNC. We lost connection to it and did not recover. It turns out the driver for the USB Ethernet stick has bugs causing occasional hang-ups
- Our Motor display had connection problems. We found out that we added a new parameter to the display. It worked fine on the computer that controlling the firing but not remotely. Reason was that we did not include that additional parameter into the LABViews data socket server.
- During the 2 days of testing and setup. The PC that controls the firing lost connection twice to the monitoring computers (~600 feet away). Same problem as the video PC. Bad driver for the USB Ethernet.

These minor things are fixed and ready for additional testing with the propulsion team.
