Tracker Subsystem GLAST LAT Project 11 Test results Displacement range obtained at zero load (dead band width) –Range has been obtained by means of sum of maximum and minimum displacement obtained between - 50N + 50N during the test –Data obtained for BT005, BT007 and BT008 are comparable to data obtained with previous BT tested X DIRECTION TEST – dead band widthY DIRECTION TEST – dead band width BT S/ND1ZD2ZD3ZD1LAD2LAnoteBT S/ND1ZD2ZD3ZD1LAD2LAnote [mm] 0010,1300,1330,1200,1490,1182nd axis0010,1000,0940,1200,1190,0971st axis 0020,1120,1220,1060,2150,2242nd axis0020,1300,0820,1190,1780,1541st axis 0030,1150,1050,0990,1780,1821st axis0030,1450,1190,1600,1450,1302nd axis 0060,1270,1370,1130,1640,1531st axis0060,1820,1240,1980,1680,1812nd axis 0050,1220,1050,0710,1790,1891st axis0050,0920,0870,1200,1510,1162nd axis 0070,1050,1110,0930,1350,1341st axis0070,1170,1060,1040,1500,1192nd axis 0080,0790,0770,0710,1490,1581st axis0080,1000,0690,0830,1630,1152nd axis Pre and post test measurement on BT005 –(measure pre test) - (measure post test) < 0.15 mm at all flexure hole axis

Tracker Subsystem GLAST LAT Project 12 Corrective action Proposed corrective action –Procedure variation Modification of Pass/Fail criteria for Bottom Tray –Elimination of actual torque loss limit –Introduction of: »pre and post test measurement comparison »zero load dead band width limit (for this kind of analysis a discussion has already been implemented) Introduction of measurement in step by step procedure –Nut torque loss will be an information obtained from test but no more considered as pass/fail criteria for Bottom Tray Proposal for BT005 –Use as is Comments –Any decision will have an influence on NCR filed for already tested Bottom Tray NCR FM/INFN/PI/378 - Bottom Tray S/N 007 NCR FM/INFN/PI/382 - Bottom Tray S/N 008
