Hello, ARCSIX Team-

Today was another amazing ARCSIX day, science flight #4 for the P-3 and science flight #3 for the G-III are in the books!

The P-3 ended up taking off at 0750L and landing at 1505 for a total of 7.3 flight hours and 1900 miles flown.

.
Despite some icing and some instrument issues, science leadership is extremely pleased that the P-3 flew today and collected the data they did.

Tomorrow will be a no fly work day with access and power on the plane 0800-1630 for instrument teams.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening!

Kelly

Subject: ARCSIX Mission Update for Friday 31 May and Monday 3 June

Good morning!

My apologies for the late update, I didn't realize until this morning that my Friday email got stuck in my outbox.

On Friday 31 May the P-3 completed her third successful ARCSIX science flight.  After a short delay to accommodate a maintenance action, the plane took off at 0925 local and landed at 1525 for a total of 6 flight hours and 1827 miles flown.

At debrief it was revealed that it was overall an extremely successful flight and our scientists were very happy with the data they were able to collect!

That being said, several science teams reported instrument issues and requested weekend access and power, so we staggered the ground crew to accommodate their needs. It was a successful effort, as one instrument that was completely inoperable was fixed and ready to fly as of mid-morning on Sunday. The others made progress and were operational enough to participate in today's Science Flight #4.

After the 0415 go/no go message this morning, we had access and power on the plane for instrument teams (thank you, Donnie!), I conducted the pre-flight flight safety briefings for two new P-3 flyers and the plane was towed out for fueling and experimenter access about 0640.  Take off for Science Flight #4 was right around 0800, I'll provide more details at today's COB update.
