Dear,
Here is a summary of CREAM-IV flight preparation status on the 25th of November at McMurdo.
- The CPT with the CDM completed today.
- The remaining 3 power phases (maximum power, battery mode, battery charging mode) are done.
- During the CPT, the instrument was in a flight mode. Everything went smoothly.
- All solar panels are assembled into the payload. A photo of the instrument with solar panels is uploaded.

- The top SCD sparsification board Actel chips pins are cleaned again. Not much difference. But with the power is on, it seems improving in pedestal noise wise. Still some zero gain channels in the charge calibration run. Will send the muon run data files for checking the aliveness of sensors.
