GLAST LAT ProjectMarch 24, F Tracker Peer Review, WBS Conclusions The tray assembly has been successfully tested: the alignment and planarity of the ladders are in specification with possible improvements. The number of tools in production will allow an assembly rate of 40 trays/month (2 towers/month) that well matches with the test rate of the trays and towers.
