Quite a week! The gravity of what we achieved in mid December has really been setting in - I think at the time, we were so set on just getting everything done before we broke for the holidays that we didn’t fully consider the implications of a full vacuum MCP test with excellent dexterity. This is truly huge. We spent this week working on making sure that when we take this to the larger space community, we have great documentation on this development. We tested out how small of a bolt we could finely manipulate, down to 1.9mm in diameter (smallest we could find). Want to work on improving the finger pad traction of the gloves, as this was our main constraint. Also beginning to think about full arm chambers, so we can test larger scale mobility.
