On Tuesday, we did several things to improve the situation, but we have found that our anti-channel rings are not doing a good job at the moment.

It must be warmer in California than it is in Texas.My humble opinion is that some of the refinements in cat pack construction (baffle rings etc) that ERPS has used to try to coax activity out of cermet pellets under adverse circumstance (such as undiagnosed contamination from stabilizers in the propellant) have, when applied to the silver pack we've used for KISS, resulted in a fairly well-behaved system. -dave w
