Pass Criteria: Flight sample plate contains 24 flight samples, the gnomon, and one thermistor, contains no adhesives
Detailed Description:
Count the number of samples embedded within the sample plate assembly.
Confirm that the thermistor has been mounted to the sample plate.
Inspect the sample plate and confirm that it does not use adhesives near the samples.
Results:
Results:
It can be confirmed that:
There are 24 samples (including cal targets) embedded within the sample plate assembly. The sample plate components are within tolerance.
The thermistor has been mounted to the back of the sample plate.
There were no adhesive near the samples.

Group 2) Camera Mounting Angle Inspection Done!
Group 2) Camera Mounting Angle Inspection Done!
Task Description: Verify that Payload measurements are taken at a 30 degrees +/- 3 angle to the samples
Completion Deadline: July 14, 2022
Team Member: Ali
Resources Required: Calipers, angle calipers, camera-Payload Control Board assembly, Sample plate as mounted to the upper payload module
Verification Activities: V-PLD-0131
Pass Criteria: The sum of the camera mounting angle and sample plate mounting angle is 30 degrees +/- 3 degrees.
Detailed Description:
Verify that Payload measurements are taken at a 30 degrees +/- 3 angle to the samples by:
1. Measure and record the heights of each of the PCB mounting posts on the Payload Upper Module.
2. Measure and record the heights of each corner of each payload camera as mounted on the Payload Control Board
3. Calculate the resulting angle between the normal vector at the centre of the camera board and the normal vector at the centre of the Payload Upper Module.
4. Measure the angle between the sample plate and structure.
5. Confirm that the sum of the camera mounting angle and sample plate mounting angle is 30 degrees +/- 3 degrees.
Results:
Results:
We simply confirmed the sum of the camera mounting angle and sample plate mounting angle is 30 degrees (+/- 3 degrees) by measuring the angle between the sample plate and the shell.

Group 5) Payload Surface Finishing Done!
Group 5) Payload Surface Finishing Done!
Task Description: confirm that all visible payload structural components are black anodized.
Completion Deadline: 24-May-2021
Team Member: Ali
Resources Required: sample plate assembly, sample plate rear supports
Verification Activities: V-PLD-0685, V-PLD-1051
Pass Criteria: Confirm that all parts that are to be black anodized, as indicated on the Payload ICD, are black anodized and that no parts have sharp edges.
Detailed Description:
Inspect all aluminum payload components and confirm that they are anodized as indicated on the Payload ICD.
With your thumb in a clean room-safe glove, carefully pass it over all outer part edges and confirm that none of these edges are sharp enough to cut through the glove.
Results:
Results:
It can be confirmed that:
All visible payload structural components are black anodized (except gnomon which has a gold coating)
No components have sharp edges.
