Long view on the unloading area. Shipping container is visible under lights. The halves are still mated, HRMA section under tarp on left side. S/C and humans visible are standing on Kamag truck bed, Kamag cab visible in shadow near building corner. 10k cleanroom door is visible in wall on extreme left of picture. Our mission: to separate the clean HRMA half of the shipping container from the dirty environmental/power generator half, move the HRMA leftward, off the truck, onto a lift platform, and into the 10k room.
