| The LUCIFER dummy being fitted on the AGW outer structure in the AIP integration hall on Jul.15, 2003. The 2 tons of weights which will simulate the mass of the LUCIFER instrument can be seen on the floor in the background to the left. Above the unit the telescope simulator can be seen. Here the unit will be tested under realistic gravity conditions to check its mechanical stability. The LUCIFER dummy was build by KARK Maschinenbau Brandenburg. |

| In this picture the AGW outer structure is seen in front of a second unit with the LUCIFER dummy mounted. The unit in front is equipped with the support structure for the off-axis unit as well as the suppiort structure for the control electronics, which will all be embedded in the unit. |
