GLAST LAT ProjectPeer Review, March 24-25, D 12 Conclusions The thermal and vibe tests on trays are well understood The vibe test rate in Centrotecnica is adequate The thermal test rate with the Perugia equipment in Terni is just sufficient, but the test lines will be doubled The mechanics to perform cosmic rays tests is under construction. The flux allows a test in realistic time. The mini-tower experience will be the ground base to define the cosmic rays test.
