DASI at the South Pole

This was the project we helped design at UCEC working with the DASI personal. The parts for the mount were made in the shop and the large ring by an outside vendor. The unit was assembled by the shop and shipped to the pole. This was a project that required a quick turn around to meet the pole schedule. Click here for more pictures.
