Sunday, October 9th
Repairs were successful and takeoff is scheduled for 0500L (Guam time) with landing ~0930L. We will coordinate security to permit access to instruments on the ramp after the flight so that instrument checkout and repair can commence.
When the aircraft gets airborne, we will monitor the aircraft and instruments from the Mission Ops Conference Room. There will be a Briefing at the Ops Center 30 minutes before take off for those that need to monitor. You can use MTS or FlightAware to track progress (try to not to access the internet unnecessarily due to overloading our bandwidth).
