| Comments: | ATom-4 science flight RF01. Southbound almost to the equator & back. Successfully completed the four planned vertical profiles. The aircraft HF and Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) systems both struggled on this flight which resulted in us not getting as far South as planned. However, a successful flight from the science perspective. AFRC will be troubleshooting the HF and CPDLC systems. Other than that, the airplane performed well. Science instruments performed well. | ||||
