ready for departure! We are feeling extremely well organized this
year. Our twin otter operated by Nordland Air has arrived. I met the
pilots today. Our first attempt to cache the core boxes at ACT2011-C
(see map on old post) will be tomorrow 10am. Weather odds are unknown
though good today. Ground surface in the SE looks rough. We will aim
to get as many core boxes into C as possible on the first flight. The
pilots do not require our help on these flights.
Some satellite communications are still enroute. The real-time
satellite locator beacon will arrive on Monday. All of these items
will be off loaded from a Herc ASAP and we will have the evening on
the 4th to insure all is operational before our first potential putin
to Raven on the 5th.
Clem/Brian have been working on connecting the Trimble or a nav GPS to
the radar to simplify the GPR post-processing. They have had limited
success, Clem will keep trying as time allows but our current plan is
to connect the Nav GPS to the GPR which will give us only limited
benefits over the original system.
The auroras were awesome last night!!!
