ESPO TurnOver:
All, I’ll be heading back to the US for a few weeks this coming Sunday. Kent Shiffer will be taking over the main ESPO lead. He’ll have the same local phone number (+82 10 6884-4363) as well as his US number: +1 650-336-3127. As usual please email us at osan@espo.nasa.gov

Visitors:
We’ll be having some USAF visitors (4) tomorrow between 10am-11am and then some in the afternoon. It will be a continuous thing, it is nothing formal and not an imposition on us by any measure, they just want to see what we do and chat a bit, feel free to wave us off if you are busy.

Users on the ground can view the flight track in KML at 
http://asp-interface-2.arc.nasa.gov/API/KML/FlightTrack/N817NA 

If anyone on the DC-8 wants to use Google Earth instead of the onboard moving map, they can use http://10.1.1.1/API/KML/FlightTrack/N817NA 

Chat instructions are attached since some people didn't get them.  If anyone needs help getting the chat software set up they should contact Mike Delaney.  If anyone flying tomorrow still needs it please download and install HexChat before getting on the airplane.
