Super-TIGER had to go outside yesterday for its compatibility test. Because we’re in the front of the highbay, this meant we had to go out to the dance floor to get out of the way. While out there we worked on more attitude sensor tests, trying to find a bright star (Canopus) with the star cameras.

Did someone bring the star from Texas?
Yes, the star is part of a Texan “Come and Take It” flag.
