The US instruments have arrived in Brazil. The Brazilian Technical Institute for Aeronautics (ITA) performed acceptance test on the instruments at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) science laboratory (LIT) using the SPORT Engineering Model (EM) and all instruments are functioning properly. The EM will be moved back to ITA’s laboratory to continue testing, specifically Attitude Control Software tests. ITA is finalizing the harness and preparing the in-house PCBs and some flight units to perform Thermal Cycling Tests. The performance of the reaction wheels, X-Band Radio and UHF/VHF radio will also be tested.
