Test 1: Ground Test + CRIMP, 4/6

Scope:

1. Pre-charge cameras, payload, and ALL altimeter batteries 1 day before
2. Put rocket together with flight team. Go through Assembly steps, especially with Avionics, Recovery, and Payload
3. Bring rocket out to Field A for ground test with flight team
4. Turn on electronics from outside the rocket and leave them on for ~1 hour
5. Perform ground test after ~1 hour 
6. Transport rocket back to lab

Goals:

• Practice integration with flight team
• Verify electronics can be turned on from outside the rocket, including cameras

Test 2, 3: Launch Rehearsal, 4/13 or 4/14, 4/27 or 5/4

Scope: 

1. Pack tools & GSE listed in assembly checklists
2. Pre-charge cameras, payload, and ALL altimeter batteries
3. Transport only those tools to the hangar
4. Assemble Hermes II in the hangar
   1. Log & acquire any missing tools/GSE
5. Put in "Final Integration" state
6. Transport to Briggs Field A with GSE, including test stand as "launch tower"
7. Perform Integration & Prelaunch procedures (except igniter, incl. raising to vertical)
8. Verify telemetry in launch ready configuration
9. Perform "rocket take down" procedures 
10. "Launch" with telemetry and video during a ground test
11. Use recovery procedures to pick up & safe the rocket
12. Transport back to lab
13. Log all data

Goals:

• Loosely simulate launch environment
• Allow extra tools to be obtained easily as long as they are logged 
• Determine GSE needed for successful launch/recovery
• Train flight team

Test 4: Launch Simulation, 5/12-13

Required:

• GSE for packed configuration
• Refined checklists from above tests
• Pre-set, reasonable adverse conditions that are unknown to the flight team

Scope: 

1. Pack tools & GSE listed in assembly checklists
2. Pre-charge cameras, payload, and ALL altimeter batteries
3. Stow in containers that will go to LA
4. Pack coolers of food, tents, tables
5. Transport only those tools to the hangar
6. Assemble Hermes II in the hangar
   1. forgotten tools require time delays
   2. missing parts require time delays
7. Put in "Final Integration" state
8. Go to sleep, wake up early the next morning
9. Collect everyone at the hangar prior to going to Field A
   1. If people sleep in, they are "sick" and cannot take on the usual role
10. Set up stuff prior to transport (simulate "FAR")
11. Transport to Briggs Field A with GSE, including test stand as "launch tower"
12. Perform Integration & Prelaunch procedures (except igniter, incl. raising to vertical)
13. Verify telemetry in launch ready configuration
14. Perform "rocket take down" procedures 
15. "Launch" with telemetry and video during a ground test
16. Recovery team walks 2 miles with ballasted backpacks
17. Rest of team does launch site cleanup
18. Use recovery procedures to pick up & safe the rocket
19. Recovery team walks 2 miles with the rocket and backpacks
20. Transport back to lab
21. Log all data

Goals: 

• Test flight team with realistic & adverse launch environment
• Train support people
