2/8 Accomplishments:
GWAS reinstalled and preflighted
NOAA UCATS reinstalled and preflighted
NOAA O3 lamp changed (I miss-stated yesterday that the lamp change was in UCATS) and it and Water Vapor are reinstalled and preflighted.
All other instruments preflighted
Aircraft preflighted
2/9 Plans:
06:30 take-off for second science flight
Instrument teams need to have a representative in the GHOC @ 05:15!!
2/7 Accomplishments:
GWAS determined their pump problem was a frozen bearing. They think it was because the pump got too hot so they're going to use thermistors to monitor the pump's temperature.
While addressing a noisy pressure sensor NOAA UCATS got indications of a failing mercury lamp. Pressure sensor was changed, lamp is on the way to be changed tomorrow afternoon
Got approval from all of those required to attempt a Saturday/Sunday science flight.
HU/PCRS removed their gas deck, beefed up a solenoid driver to ensure robust calibrations and reinstalled the unit.
Mini-DOAS had their telescope fairing reworked to address interference issues
SSFR conducted a system vacuum check and calibration
MMS submitted data to the ATTREX archive
2/8 Plans:
Reinstall GWAS pump pallet
Reinstall NOAA O3 and Water Vapor and UCATS
Perform instrument and aircraft preflights
2/5 Accomplishments:
After some minor issues this morning AV-6 took off at approximately 07:50 to conduct ATTREX's first science flight! Things are going well.
2/6 Plans:
Land and recover the aircraft.
Refuel the aircraft.
Plan for the next flight. Some weather is moving into the area on Friday but the plan remains to sneak another flight in before the end of the week.
