Ballast gliders (for deployment 1) #13

Open sblockhart opened 7 years ago

We failed to ballast modena. The tail was too heavy, and there was no more optional weight to remove. We're contemplating our next move.

Successfully ballasted ramses at density of 1023.8. There is a slight roll to port (8 degrees), but it can be fixed either by moving some rail weights or adjusting the remora.

I need to revisit the ballast for ramses (assuming it will be deployed on the northern route next week), targeting a density of 1022 and fixing the roll.

Ramses is now ballasted at a target density of 1022.6.
