[ICE-14] Ready to launch, Nov. 18th 2010
- Details
At around 12 pm, the CMD looked not working and Data flow looked slow.
We found that the SIP tranmitter was gone bad and it was replaced before moving out.
The payload was rolled out at 12:30 pm and came back at 5:30 pm.
We did CAL/SCD/CHER LPT and PCM/TDRSS/IRIDIUM(Dial-up/email) Connection tests.
SOC tested a flight mode set up also and all tests were OK.
Now the clock-wise cyclon is still too strong.
According to Chris, weatherman, this year polar vortex formation is very
similar to the one in 2008, in which we flew it on Dec. 18th.
The weather was very good today with no wind, warm and some clouds.
We will take off tomorrow, 11/19/NZT, because we have not had a break
since we arrived to ICE and Robin will take off also and Chris will leave tomorrow.
We will be back on 11/20/NZT.
Thank you very much.
