Flight Mission Details

By Dr. Philip Russell

Preflight goals focused on getting AOD profiles and transects, SSFR fluxes, CAR circles, and RSP legs in cloud-free conditions over the Gulf East of VER in coordination with Terra, Aqua, the King Air, and the Twin Otter during MISR local mode overpass.

BUT FLIGHT WAS ABORTED on take off because of a bird’s strike. Because of the delays associated with the above tests, there was no opportunity for science flights on this day. Terra overpass was 1704 UTC and Aqua was 2009 UTC

CAR worked well with door closed, and powered down properly when the flight was aborted.
