CIRBE’s XB1 was successfully delivered and bench-tested.

CIRBE’s XB1 was successfully delivered and bench-tested on September 1st, 2021.  The BCT delivery team (SE, ME, and Test Engineer) and the CIRBE LASP team worked together to accomplish the following tasks:

1. Instruction on handling and integrating the XB1
2. Instruction on deployments and how to stow the solar arrays and UHF antenna
3. Performed mechanical deployments
4. Connected electrical GSE
5. Post ship turn on using COSMOS (BCT)
6. Connected HYDRA and tested the bus using OASIS-CC (LASP)

All systems tested above appear to be working nominally. The next step is to perform a bus CPT and proceed with safe to mates and flight integration of the XB1 and REPTile-2.
