| Purpose of Flight: | Check | ||||
| Comments: | ATom-4 science check flight #1. Successful speed runs were obtained at 28kft and 35kft. A "stacked" flux maneuver was accomplished at 500 ft, 850 ft, and 1200 ft above the ocean. An MMS maneuver set was accomplished at 1500 ft. Low altitude data was obtained over the California Central Valley at 1000 ft AGL. An air data calibration run was accomplished at 29kft prior to RTB. The aircraft and science payload did well with some discrepancies to work. | ||||
