6. November 17, 2004Tracker6 Descopes Build only 16 or 17 flight towers? –Tower-0 used up a lot of flight material that we have to replace if we want to build the 18 th tower. –We are having yield problems with other parts, in particular the MCMs. This potentially could require painful actions such as making more ASICs in order to built 18 more towers. We are already going out to purchase more long-lead material such as the carbon-carbon for tray fabrication, and we are considering building more bottom-tray closeouts (all U.S. expense). –Tower-0 probably could be refitted to make an acceptable beam-test tower by replacing or reworking the layers that are dead using good, but non-flight parts. –Such a beam-test tower would not require environmental testing, resulting in some more savings.
