Just a Reminder for Tomorrow’s Plan:

1.       2:00 flight planning meeting inside the hangar; the room on the second floor

a.       Just a reminder that we will pick flight plans based on ARISE mission science objectives; all folks are welcome, but we need to be efficient and stick to our primary goals. The prime folks involved in the flight planning discussion over the past 7 months are of course well versed in this

b.      Project Scientist Bill makes the final call

c.       Matt Beckley and Louis Nguyen will be the leads for converting the science goals into actual flight plans for the crew

d.      We need to get the crew a small # of flight lines (2-3 samples) no later than a few hours after this meeting; the final call will be made the morning of flight day with a much smaller # of people at the wx office -  as we have less than 1 hour to finalize, build waypoints, and get them to the crew.

2.       5:00 Team Meeting; Wedgewood Main Building; second floor conf room

a.       This will be a logistics meeting to discuss the plans for the next day; what time to be where, and an overview of our potential science plans, etc.

b.      Would like at least 1 rep from each team.

3.       Notes:

a.       Tomorrow is technically a hard down day. The crew is off duty. No planned access to aircraft. All of us should try to rest as well, so our goal was to keep these planning meetings to the middle of the day so folks can sleep in, and get out early

b.      Remember that obtaining your badge at the main gate may take some time

Thursday, 9/4

·         Assume we’ll be flying roughly an 8-hr mission, takeoff around 10:30 (will be confirmed tomorrow)

·         Show time at plane is typically 2 hours prior, but a few teams have worked with the crew to get an extra hour to support maintenance

·         Always bring your passports – just a reminder

Please let  me know if you have any questions.
