Opal was the first satellite payload integrated onto Jawsat, the multi payload adapter. These photos show Opal after integration.
 
 

This is Opal attached to the Multi-Payload Adapter (MPA), also know as JAWSAT. The ring of copper next to Opal is part of JAWSAT's attitude control system called a torquer coil.

Opal on the MPA. All of Opal's protective covers are in place. So are the handles on top of Opal. The silver plate covering Opal's door is a safety mechanism to prevent picosatellite ejection in case of inadvertant firing.

This is the trailer that will carry Opal and the rest of the payloads to California from Utah.

Falconsat built by the US Air Force Academy rests on stand while awaiting integration onto the MPA.

We installed software on this PC to allow remote contacts to be made to Opal via the internet. The small hand-held radio in the middle provides the radio link to Opal and is connected to the PCs serial port. Opal operators were able to test and operate the satellite from Stanford.

Here is a fuzzy closeup of the launch vehicle interface (LVI). It rests between Opal and the launch vechicle and deploys Opal after launch.
