Weather: Cool, low stratus throughout the day with scattered showers around noon
Tasking:
- Hendrik continued his remote support for the local Argentina crew
- Replaced 65W panels for 145W panels at lconv & uconv. We will hold off on doing the same at rel but will keep a close eye on it
- Data seems nominal
- Andy arrived this afternoon
- Hendrik's last day was today. Big thanks for all his hard work out here!
- April, Hendrik and I had dinner and checked in
- IOPs are going well. The smoke has been pooling as desired for recent IOPs
- They currently have had four successful ones with the goal of 10 by project end
- UW may return before project end to do another IOP flight with their UAV
- Critters chewing through the ctemps fiber continues to be an issue. They just received a new shipment of splices and will start fixing breaks downstream of the rel tower
Tomorrow I will be giving Andy a tour of the sites and overview of duties.
