Daily Schedule

• 0700 - 1500 ER2 crew support
• 0700 Lab Access
• Two designated FN escorts and one backup needed

0800 - 1200 DPOPS, Lab access, with escort.

It's been another productive day. Accomplishments:

UCATS

• Drill-matched the aircraft mount frame
• Finished lab set up
• Calibration work

PALMS

• Finished laser calibration

DPOPS

• Calibration work
• Solved remote SSH access to instrument

Looking ahead, UCATS will access the lab over the weekend. DPOPS lab access Saturday morning, rest Sunday. 

Late Friday, NASA Headquarters released guidance regarding mask wearing for COVID-19 vaccinated people. The new guidance aligns with the new CDC recommendations. However, until we receive updated information from the NASA AFRC center, the DCOTSS participants will continue to wear N95 masks while on-site and working closer than 6' from each other for any amount of time.
