Servicing the Polar DIM
Target Area operators service the polar diagnostic instrument manipulator (DIM) cable track assembly in the NIF Target Bay during the December 2016 facility maintenance and reconfiguration (FM&R) period. The polar DIM holds diagnostics that measure the results of NIF experiments with a view from above the target. Other DIMs provide perspectives from different locations around the equator of the Target Chamber. Nearly 360 tasks were performed over the two-week FM&R period, which was completed on Jan. 2.
