EY TMS Extra Tooling Removed & Safety Stop Installed

After the BSC-ISI passed a coarse alignment check, went out to work on Post-Cartridge tasks for the TMS.  Basically we want to remove excess mass from the TMS & get it ready for fine balancing of the ISI.

Restraint Tooling/Table Cover Removed & TMS Upper Mass Released

Went ahead and removed the TMS Restraint Tooling (turnbuckles, chains, & eyebolts).  Then I went upstairs and released the Upper Mass.  I then removed the Metal Table Cover.  Some thing I missed were some questionable eyebolts attached to the Upper Structure.  We we want to know whether these eyebolts (most likely) & an aluminum part (not sure) stay on the structure or get pulled off.  Will probably have to address this on Monday BEFORE fine ISI balancing.

Safety Stop Structure (Disassembled & Assembled) & Installed

I then went about installing the Safety Stop Structure (D1001781) to the BSC10.  First thing I noticed was this assembly was built for H2! (see photo #1)  So I had to take the assembly apart and then rebuild it for H1.  I then attached it to the ribbing of the BSC chamber.  After some manhandling, I was able to get this structure up and needled through the eyebolts on the TMS Table.  Other than the possible parts above, the TMS is pretty much ready for ISI balancing.

Note:  will keep the TMS Upper Structure "free" (vs. locked).
