He will replace it and test it outside tomorrow.
If the test result is OK, we will do the hang test
on Thursday (11/18 NZT),
which is on Wednesday in Maryland.
SOC,
There is no hang test tomorrow
and be prepared it in the next day.
ULDB people arrived and started work today.
They work on the ground floor, right next to the CREAM payload,
but they are not bothering us much because CREAM intergration
was almost done and ULDB takes not much area.
(I think David allowed them to work on the ground floor).
Today, it was good with no wind/some clouds/warm in the morning,
but in the afternoon the snow clouds are covering the Willy Field sky.
We expect some snow in the eveing today and in the early moning tomorrow.

According to the weatherman today, we can not launch CREAM-VI on Dec. 1st because the clock-wise cyclone is still too strong.
Comparing to the last year's status, this year looks much behind about 10 days.
Today, there was a strong wind in the morning, but it became weaker in the afternoon.
