OIB will return to the skies today following a restful Easter Sunday. We’ll be attempting the Humboldt 01 mission. Sunny cold weather in Thule this morning.

Todd Brody and Brian Yates working on the P3 nose gear. [After many years of service with NASA, they have been let go as of 2019 because… you know, money… it’s sad.]
