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 CDM side covers are being closed.
  • All cables related with the CDM are being prepared for the hang test.
  • The weather briefing shows still that the weather on Wed/Thur are windy. Hope for a good weather in either Wed. or Thur. for the hang test.
  • There will be a weather briefing at 8:30 AM to see if we can have a hang test or not.

 

Cheers, MooHyun.
