| Comments: | Good flight. This was the first science instrument check flight for the ATom-1 configuration. All science objectives were met. Unknown low-level vibration was experienced (like on the shake flight) at higher altitudes and Mach numbers. Satcom for data upload/download was not working well today. Flight included 3 vertical profiles, MMS maneuver, and some extended time at low altitude over the ocean including sampling above an below a low thin cloud "deck". Variations to flight speed were investigated as were variations in descent rates. A number of instruments started out hot, but recovered and worked well as they cooled down during the flight. Aircraft and instruments returned in good shape. | ||||
