Pencil in July 12th (after 12pm) & July 13th for showing up at AFRC Palmdale to collect your equipment arriving by sea. These dates are not 100% firm, we are still waiting for confirmation but I wanted to inform everyone ahead of the 4th of July weekend so that you have time to plan and make preliminary travel arrangements.

As a reminder, every instrument team is responsible for their own shipping arrangements from AFRC to your home institutions, please ensure that there is a representative from your team (and that he/she has been cleared to access AFRC) to prepare and send off your equipment.

We will keep you updated of any changes/confirmation as we get closer to the date.
