Good Morning 

There were two CME's today, but no word yet if they will be geo effective. They originated in the South West region of the Sun, which give us a better than average chance. Fingers crossed! That said, space weather.com is saying that it's not going to hit us. 

Payloads up:

SANAE IV: 1T

Halley 6: 1I, 1A

Payloads coming down:

nothing to report
