•  The science instruments were installed on the aircraft, finishing up just after noon today.
•  Due to inspections still to complete and a lot of paperwork still to close out , an ICF today was not possible. Scientists were posed to do more ground checks to verify their systems this afternoon.
•  An ICF will be conducted once the aircraft reaches Korea.
•  Current plan is to remove the science instruments and begin their pack up tomorrow afternoon.
•  AirMods will arrive mid-morning on Wednesday to start the fuel tank installation which will take approximately 2 days. Hope to be able to get a check flight with the external tanks on Friday.
•  At this time, it still looks like a transit date of 18April.
