AV-1 Science Flight

Take off was delayed due to Ku issues but GH had a successful take off at 1336 PST (and is currently flying). The mission plan was revised to maintain the 1400 PST Tuesday landing time (because we used fuel while working the Ku issue). Please see MTS for the latest flight plan.

We will also hope to have enough information to determine if the flight met the HS3 science success criteria.
