IMPACTS Plan of the Day for Friday Jan 28, 2022
 
General announcements

• Don’t forget to do your daily health screening (click here)
• For the long range science plans, visit the IMPACTS field catalog (updated regularly)
• Continue attending the daily briefings online if possible
• Always wear your masks and maintain social distance
•  

 
P-3 Fliers:

• Although we are expecting to return to WFF on Sunday, do be prepared to stay at Wright Patterson AFB for a few days. Pack accordingly.
• Remember to prepare some snacks for the science flight. There is a microwave available on board the aircraft. Water and coffee is also available on board.
• We are sending an ESPO care package of a few covid-19 test kits and N95 masks on the flight (but you are not authorized to catch the virus.)
• Park in the back of each of the parking lots away from the hangar entrance doors before you leave Friday on the P-3. This way they can plow the front of each parking lot and be able to remove snow from the entrance doors
• It might be a good idea to leave your car rental keys at the ESPO desk (label them), should the need arise to move your vehicles while you are at WP.
