Things are moving along here under the Dome here at ESRANGE. Today, we got a lot accomplished:
- discussed the recovery plan with the recovery lead here at Esrange
- successfully completed a preliminary compatibility test with the Esrange transponder and secondary tracking system.
- completed testing of the UCSC ground station with two payloads simultaneously transmitting with their flight iridium system. This also included a test of the SOC web interface which allows us to see data remotely.
- bench tested two payloads and began getting two payloads into their final flight configuration.
We should have two payloads flight-ready tomorrow in time for a launch dry-run with Esrange on Thursday morning.
Today we had blue skies and weather that was almost good enough for a launch! Let's hope it stays this way.
Cheers
Robyn
