ATom 10/01/17 Mission Daily Schedule

The DC-8 arrived at Anchorage at approximately 18:00L today after a successful 10-hour science flight, which got as far north as 72.5ºN and included a missed approach at Barrow. All instruments operated nominally with the exception of PALMS, which had a laser failure. The team will install the spare laser tomorrow and the instrument should be back up and running.
