• An ESRR (Experimental Systems Readiness Review) was held today and almost all of the action items were checked off; another ESRR (probably virtual) will be held in Korea after the instruments are re-installed and prior to an ICF in order to complete check-off of all ESRR items
• Science instruments are being removed this afternoon and evening in preparation for pack-up for shipment
• QA is continuing with closeout of action items
• An ops check flight will be conducted tomorrow morning to allow more pilot familiarity with the new avionics
• AirMods will arrive around mid-day tomorrow and begin installation of the external fuel tanks
