Last week Spider started to come together as a complete experiment, rather than a collection of parts. The gondola frame was completed, and most of its "outer frame" electronics were installed. Then it was moved over into the west highbay with out cryostat Llorothaag, in preparation for them coming together. NASA’s electronics were also installed, which will eventually allow us to communicate with the ground. In the last of cryogenics, we also started pre-cooling Lloro with liquid nitrogen. Our limited times with Susan and with Sho came to an end, but it was great to have them here.
