Overview:  AV-6 Science Flight #6 returned after a successful flight over Edouard. Edouard was upgraded to a Cat 2 hurricane during the flight. AVAPS has worked some instrument issues today and is ready for tomorrow’s flight.

 

Tomorrow’s flight is planned for 24 hours with a nominal takeoff of 0800. There is a possibility of delayed takeoff due to weather. If that happens, it may be possible for a slight delay, or even an evening takeoff at 1800.

 

HS3 09/14/14 Mission Daily Schedule
Overview:  AV-6 Science Flight #6 is currently flying and is scheduled to land at 0700 EDT tomorrow. During today's flight Edouard was upgraded to a Cat 1 hurricane. As I write this, sondes are dropping at high frequency into the eye of the storm.
 
Tuesday is the next possible flight day. Mission science is aiming for a 0700 takeoff but will make the final decision tomorrow morning based on the local forecast for Tuesday morning.
