Repairs were successful and takeoff is scheduled for 0500L (Guam time) with landing ~0930L. We will coordinate security to permit access to instruments on the ramp after the flight so that instrument checkout and repair can commence.
Saturday, October 8th
The plane is expected on Saturday. We will WhatsApp and email the flight status when we know it. Take-off is planned for 1000 from Kwajalein (0800 Guam Local time) and ETA is 1230 Local.
For those that need to monitor flight, make sure you are on wireless so you get WhatApp messages. Be ready to be at Ops Center as early as 0730.
Update: The WB-57 arrival is no earlier than Saturday. If the arrival is near our 1600-1930 window we will nose the aircraft into the hangar. If the plane arrives earlier, we will work with the teams to provide ramp access if possible. Weekend aircraft access TBD.
We will poll all the instrument teams on Sunday afternoon to see if everyone can be ready for a Tuesday Oct 11 first science flight.
