December 22nd; they were aiming for the 18th but there was a small issue that required a bit of additional testing so they pushed it back to the 22nd.

- gizmo385 5y agoWasn't the most recent 18 -> 22 delay because they dropped it?

- progbits 5y agoThey didn't drop it but a clamp released unexpectedly during some operation and it caused vibrations in the telescope. At that time they didn't have sensors attached that would be able to confirm if the vibration was within specified tolerances so manual inspection of sensitive components had to be done again. Glad to hear it went well and we are back on track!
