Minutes of the September 9 2011 meeting for the preparation of the NIKA run 3
Test plan document as previous years probably not necessary since it would be redondant with all the above information (however if somebody thinks it would still be useful, please tell me and I'll write a test plan similar to previous years - Samuel).

Daily reports
Monday 10 October 2011
Tuesday 11 October 2011
The van left on Tuesday fully loaded and with 4 inflated tyres and one spare for Spain (Alessandro, Philippe and Martino are driving). Samuel and Alain to join them in Granada.
Wednesday 12 October 2011
Unloading has started at Pico Veleta.
Beside a leak in the cryostat, a connector size problem with the compressor and the explosion of one of the foot of the anti-vibration table, the installation of NIKA and its auxiliary equipment went fine and smoothly. System pumped, cryocooler switched on, temperature decreasing gently ==> so far so good.
