Machining the Dummy Balloon Housing


In the picture above you can see how the dummy balloon housing is manufactured.  I first cut at piece of high density Styrofoam to a shape that was close to my model.  I then machined it down to specifications by hand.  It's not perfect, but it should function adequately.  This version will be used first to do a thermal test and then an impact test.  Posts detailing the procedures of those tests will follow.
