A first look at the "dropped" shell

Today, the shell was lowered and safely "dropped"... Initial observations show some rusted magnets, indicating that water came in from the top, and some damaged capacitive sensors. 

A more thorough investigation of the shell reference body/actuator status will be made over the next few days. More to come...
