Payloads up:
SANAE: 1J, 1K, 1M, 1N, 1O
Halley Bay: 1D, 1I
Payloads ready for flight:
SANAE: Unlikely to have a launch until either late in the weekend or early next week
Halley Bay: Expecting bad weather and no new launches until Monday at the earliest
Payloads coming down:
1B was terminated yesterday afternoon.
Conjunctions:
Jan 9th 2013:
A10** 3:10 - 10:50 Halley (If there is a launch... or perhaps the ground station magnetometer?)
B9** 2:15 - 8:45 SANAE (If there is a launch this day)
Jan 10th 2013
A11 6:00 - 13:40 1J (1J may be on a higher L, but this would potentially be a conjunction at apogee.
B10** 5:05 - 12:40 Halley

Space Weather from Spaceweather.com
Solar wind speed is 397.6 km/s
Solar proton density 1.4 cm^(-3)
153 sunspots are now visible. NOAA has kept the likelihood of a M class flare at 40% and a 5% chance of an X class flare. There are now two newly observed sunspots nicked named the the Evil Twins. They are collectively known as AR1654.
Kp is quiet kp = 1 with a 24 max of kp = 2
Bz = 1.2 nT south
Btotal = 4.0 nT
There are no large coronal holes on the sun... perhaps those "higher (almost 400 km/s! I know, I know still slow)" Solar Winds we saw were the high speed streams... or perhaps they were just too close to the solar pole.
From Kyoto:
AE: a small blip in the AE index at ~0900 UT Jan 9th 2013
Dst: incredibly quiet!
Talk to you all soon
