June 7: Test "Rolling" Effect Theories
Configuration:
- ACS: Assembled
- Mounting: In Dolly, in Square with Radiator Facing Up & Parallel to Floor
- Cooling: Chillers
- Optical Source: HRC Coronagraph Backlight
- Starting Temp: Ambient at Start of Day
Results:
- Rolling was Correlated with Enclosure Panel Temp
- Heat from 650W Lamp Used to Change Enclosure Panel Temperature
- Applying Heat to O3 and O2 (Separately) Caused Apparent Motion in Y-Axis Only
- Previous "Rolling" was in X-Axis Only
- Imaging Interval Varied (30 min imaging, 5 min break, 30 min imaging, 10 minute break, 30 min imaging, 15 min break) to Determine if Breaks Causes Cooling
Conclusion:
- Rolling is not Caused by Enclosure Panel Heating nor Imaging Operations
