MetalWorking: New NASA Spacecraft Under Construction in New Orleans
Holy smokes.....look at the fixturing they are machining this new
rocket capsule on!! Pretty complicated piece of work all by itself. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c30_1316016946 And then check out the size of the milling bed. The mill head runs on the tracks in the pit gehind these guys and they are walking around on the mill bed. Dave |

Dave Thats not fixturing per say...that appears to be the actual space craft and they are machining parts..already attached...so they fit. Trimming and fitting. Which I find exceptionally disturbing...as all that sort of stuff should have been properly done long before they ever started assembling the beasty. Allthough..on the other hand...it isnt all that bad an idea, if its a prototype and they are "modeling" or using the Soviet Method of construction. Its just not something I would have associated with NASA. Gunner Huh? Huge steel gusseted box beams, large handcranks, circular re-circulating ball guides. No, its a fixture. Check out the scene starting at frame 3:50. It is very clear the "part" is just the conical section of plate and everything else is holding it. |

Hummm...I had assumed that the box beams etc etc were the fixture used to machine the already assembled parts Ill go with your answer as I really wouldnt like to think it was assembled via Soviet methods Though to be fair...they were pretty good at that sort of thing......
