4000 Flange Assembly

DOI

This dataset contains the assembly level files for the SOFIA Telescope Assembly subsystem 4000 Flange Assembly (FA). Refer to subsystem datasets in the dataverse collection 4000 Flange Assembly for subsystem level files. The FA component is organized according to the SOFIA TA Hardware Breakdown Structure (HBS) as described in the SOFIA TA Technology and Operations Archive Manual and contains subsystems as listed in to the following tree structure:
