Lab Test¶
The lab test is the final verification gate between the workshop and the ocean. It confirms that the glider's hardware, sensors, communications, and buoyancy system all perform within specification under controlled conditions before the vehicle is exposed to the operational environment. No glider should be deployed without a completed and signed lab test record. The lab test follows glider lab setup and precedes ballasting and deployment.
