No issues loading sondes today, they all worked as expected. Due to the air shipment arriving late yesterday and a 6AM takeoff today, I did not put the tape under the PTU module. I should have grabbed a box of sondes when leaving the airport so I could do that before tomorrow’s flight, but I forgot to so they likely won’t have the fix either. It didn’t seem to be an issue on today’s flight.
During the flight there was one sonde (ID 180710878) which had a broken PTU module at launch. The error code is “0x208” which means disconnected sensor boom. This would be the first we’ve seen on the NRD41, but we haven’t dropped nearly as many as NOAA has dropped RD41.
