Samara update

The first days of YES2 work at the rocket factory of TsSKB progress can be considered succesful.

During evaluation of the functional test results it was noticed the flight stepper driver and motor consumed less power than the engineering model. This could mean either less torque of the motor or less losses in the stepper driver circuitry. In Samara, with a ingenious set-up the torque levels were directly compared and it can be concluded that the flight torque is nominal.

Marcel in the mean time is attaching the Multi Layer Insulation (MLI). This is nearly finished. 

Florian is in place without issues.

The MASS tensiometer is planned for a fix at the end of the testing campaign around 26th of June, when about one day will be available for final tests before shipment to Baikonur. 

YES2 was mounted on Foton Battery Pack and a FLOYD functional test was successfully completed. Some software issues with telemetry format were quantified and are fixed for the next test on the 21st of June, with the other payloads.

Good work Michiel, Fabio, Marco, Aage, Ili Spili and Marcel.
