ANITA brings out the antennae

    As our buttoning up process moves on slowly (but surely), the ANITA guys finally uncovered their two large receiving antennae from the snows of early this week to begin mounting them onto the gondola.  With a few modifications that Marty Olevitch made to our GSE and some more TURFTS tests, by the end of the day, we were confident that ANITA and TIGER will each be getting enough data down over the 6 kbits/sec rate that we will be getting using the TDRSS satellite system.  Tomorrow, we will be buttoning up and ready to go for our hangtest, scheduled for December 7.
