1/12 Accomplishments:
49ers completely dispatch The Pack
MMS network interface problem turned out to be a bad ethernet cable; it was changed and the system works fine
GWAS fixed a noisy manifold pressure sensor
HU/PCRS continued system calibration work
DLH performed high altitude pressure control system work

1/13 Plans:
Off aircraft instrument system work

1/11 Accomplishments:
Locked ground station Ku dish on AMC16 satellite (will get us through the range flight and some flight plans in the Pacific, coverage map is attached)
Cannot get ground station dish down to 3° above horizon to lock onto Amazonas1 (@ 5°), looking to cancel Amazonas contract and look for another satellite
HU/PCRS dewar plumbing completed
Refining MMS network interface

1/12 Plans:
Continue MMS internet system work
49ers defeat the Packers

1/9 Accomplishments:
Aircraft rolled out and Ku system locked on satellites
Unfortunately the ground station did not have the same success
MTP successful with iridium checks
GWAS confirmed system fix incorporated on Monday
DLH identified possible bad ethernet cable
UCATS team gets ethanol in the hangar

1/8 Accompishments:
NOAA O3, UCATS and HU/PCRS pump box re-installed
Software uploaded to Link Module and NASDAT
Iridium checks accomplished with minor glitches
Aircraft Ku system locked onto AMC16 satellite; ground station not able to do so yet

1/7 Accompishments:
The primary Ku satellite (Intelsat19) to be used for ATTREX (gives us great coverage over a wide swath of the Pacific Ocean) is @ 3° above the horizon, the DFRC Ku dish currently goes down to 5°
An additional satellite (AMC16, higher in the sky) has been identified that will give us good connectivity (for ATC comm) between DFRC and out over the Pacific Ocean and additional coverage to that from Intelsat 19
Working to get a contract in place for AMC16
Work on Ku dish command/control fiber cable
