Satcom would not start this morning. Repeated power cycles including CB cycels did not work. Eventually a long power off seemed to have fixed it. It came up good the after the longer power off.
A/D Calibration Numbers
ADS DSM Card 0 s/N 1705 Ch 3 was 7mv different.
MPDS DSM Card 0 S/N 0019 Ch 0 was 53 mv Difference. (we should look at his prior to OTREC)
NOSE DSM Card 0 S/N 1709 Ch 5 is 43 mv and ch 6 is 28 mv (This is a known issue).
MPDS has the correct serial number in the header. We need to know if that channel will be used and if the rest of the card is okay for OTREC.
Everything else came up fine on preflight.
BO 1421
TO 1439
1523 Put on camera filter.
1544 Starting race tracks.
1642 first sun images on our camera.
1729 Camera in final position for the Eclipse.
1811 starting down will add another comment on ground if needed.
Had issues with HF radios in flight. Remember when using satcom dialers to use 00 (country code) (Phone number).
During the flight I logged into the wiki early and it worked well. I left myself logged in and thought that it would speed the process up at the end of the flight. When I got to the end of the flight and tried to save the comment it would not save (tried 3 times). I logged out and back in and it saved the first time. I think we should not log in until very close to the time you want to post the information to the WIKI. The editors seem to work better then.
