Good Morning 

There was a CME last night which may or may not have an Earthward component. It is predicted that if it does have an earthward component, it will hit on February 8th or 9th. 


Payloads up:
SANAE IV: 1Q, 1T, 1U
Halley 6:  1H, 1I, 1A



Payloads coming down:
1V was terminated early this morning at 0150 UT on Feb. 26th. 
1I, 1H, and 1Q are starting to (or have already) dipped below 27 km and are expected to be terminated in the next few days.

Halley Bay :
Very quiet

GOES Electron Flux:
Have continued to be at normal to moderate levels and are expected to be the same for the next three days
GOES Proton Flux:
Has stayed at background levels for the lat 24 hours and is expected to be the same over the next three days
Space Weather from Spaceweather.com and SWPC.noaa.gov
Solar wind speed is 313.4 km/s 
Solar proton density 1.8 cm^(-3) 
41 sunspots are now visible. NOAA has the likelihood of a M class flare at 10% and a 1% chance of an X class flare. 
Kp is quiet kp = 0 with a 24 max of kp = 1
Bz = 1.2 nT north 
Btotal = 4.6 nT 
There is a relatively large coronal hole in the northern hemisphere which may give us a glancing blow. These SW are now predicted to hit us (if they do) on February 8-9.
From Kyoto:
AE: very quiet
Dst: very quiet. 
Have a good day and remember to back up your computer!
