KORUS-AQ Shipping Overview
There will be two modes of shipping that will be utilized during the mission, a sea shipment and an air shipment.

Please return the completed air shipment manifest to Steven Todorov by 3/18/16.

Palmdale to Osan AFB
Air Shipment- 25 APRIL to  2 MAY 
We will provide an air shipment that will depart Palmdale approximately 2 days after the final mission test flight. This will allow for a full day of packing prior to ESPO readying (palletizing and documenting) the shipment for pick up. The shipment is tentatively scheduled to depart Palmdale on 4/25 and arrive at Osan AFB on 5/2. 

Shipments to Palmdale
Please pack any fragile of sensitive equipment in hard shell cases with plenty of cushioning and avoid shipping loose items whenever possible. Clearly label all boxes with “KORUS-AQ” the instrument name, the PI's name, and contact mobile phone number. Before you ship your items to Palmdale, please email 
Steven Todorov and Karen Richards with the number, size, and weights of each shipment. Include the expected arrival date and carrier information.

Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods 
Lithium ion batteries are now regulated as dangerous goods and need to be accounted for by the watt hour rating of the battery. Please forward all MSDS sheets to Karen Richards 7 days in advance of your intended ship date.
