A successful high priority modified Alexander-Petermann 01 mission was completed in sunny conditions with just a few turbulence bumps today. All OIB instruments ran well. We’ve had a very successful week of OIB missions!
OIB will wrap up the week by attempting the ” Alexander-Petermann 01″ mission (slightly modified to accommodate Thule Friday airport hours) today. We welcome the new aircrew and science team who rotated up yesterday, and thank

OIB successfully completed the “North Central Gap 01” mission today. Great weather and complete coverage reported by all OIB remote sensing instruments on NASA426. We’ll hope for an equally successful mission tomorrow, weather permitting.
OIB will resume science flights today by attempting the Northwest Coastal A mission, on a clear cold Monday morning. The NASA GulfStream III aircraft and radar pod underneath fuselage, sharing Hangar 7 with us
We completed the “Northwest Coastal A” mission today. The weather south of Thule was good, and the first two flight liens along the coast provided some great scenery (photos below are all from the first
