RP-DG
The glazing was installed on the roof of the RP-DG cell.

Starting with Launch 044 (beginning on Friday, Nov. 14, 2003), the RP cell will feature a second layer of batt insulation on the interior of the “occupiable” space. This insulation was installed today.
DG1, DG2
In the DG1 cell, the number of nominal 8-in x 4-in x 16in concrete blocks was doubled from 115 to [181]. Henceforth, the DG1 cell is referred to as the DG2 cell. In order to expose the most surface area, half of the blocks were stack on their ends along the east side of the test cell, while the other half were similarly stacked along the west side of the test cell.
RP
In the RP cell, a leak was discovered. Water was found in between the two layers of batt insulation in the “occupiable” space.

On this day, just prior to launching the HOBOs for Launch 045 (beginning on Friday, Nov. 21, 2003), the staff finished the four pieces developed for closing the vents of the TW cell’s thermal storage wall. As soon as the staff develops a schedule for opening/closing the vents, they will begin a scheduled operation of the vents and will record it with within this log.
