PSI Characteristics

TIDE/PSI contact for following information:

Paul Craven (205) 544-7639 or paul.craven@msfc.nasa.gov


The following table gives the current and voltages for each of the separate states of PSI at HRL, I&T and inflight. The table, minus the flight values, is in the user manual from SWRI.
