Timeline
	•	0901 Pettersen in GHOC
	•	1002 GH engine start
	•	1018 DC41 ON (BusA)
	•	1018 DC42 ON (BusB)
	•	1027 Ku ON and transmitting
	•	1055 IL41 ON (SHIS Power) - temps look good
	•	1058 Takeoff
	•	
	•	1109 Detectors cooled
	•	1123 CPL lasing
	•	1125 ABB cooled 273K, status = all green
	•	1129 Landing gear fault light on - mission continuing as planned
	•	~1300 After the 1230 briefing, Mission Science decided to swap the direction of the flight as to not sample the same dust/airmass for the entire flight.  Flight plan was updated on MTS at ~1430 and slightly shortened to compensate for the strong head winds.  Landing should be nominally the same time (~1300UTC)
	•	
	•	1545 Shift change:  S-HIS has been great.  Some interesting clouds off the coast to compare the SHIS CT ret to CPL.  Flight pattern changed.  Landing time still the same.
	•	1545 timeDifference is approximately -0.4 to -0.9 seconds
	•	1600 Knuteson shift begins (Pettersen depart)
	•	
	•	2008 Lost Ku (Southern portion of lawnmower pattern is at Ku coverage boundary)
	•	2040 Restored Ku after boosting GH signal. (Potential for interference in dropsonde data.)
	•	2305 Science Note: Dropsonde at this time is directly into the densest portion of the CIMSS SAL product "jet" feature.  CPL shows dust between 2 and 5 km above a very uniform stratus layer. jasond_hrd:drop 22 (ob 21): 2.5 C TINV at 850...classic SAL dry layer from ~550-850mb. Comparison to dropsondes shows S-HIS DR-RTV agrees well down to cloud top even through dust layer!  First validation that I have seen.
	•	
	•	0000 Shift change:  S-HIS has been functioning normally to this point. 
	•	0000 timeDifference is approximately -2.75 seconds
	•	0000 Merrelli shift begins (Knuteson depart)
	•	
	•	0012 Ku dropout beings
	•	0150 Ku back
	•	0335 Some manual time syncing commands run on S-HIS computer:
	•	(timeDifference is roughly 3.0 - 3.5 at the moment, in red limit)
	•	-- First, find the process ID for the ntp:
	•	myrouter# ps wax | grep ntp
	•	-- then kill it
	•	myrouter# kill <pid>
	•	-- manually resync
	•	myrouter# /data/Software/ntpclient -s -h 10.3.1.10
	•	(time difference reduced to 0.1 - 0.9 roughly, within green limit)
	•	myrouter# hwclock --systohc
	•	Some other attempts to get debugging info from ntpd.
	•	Finished tweaking at about 0430Z.
	•	Output text files saved to amp desktop. (Should move this file to log/notes directory, during postflight?)
	•	Ku has had many short dropouts.
	•	
	•	0810 Shift change:  S-HIS has been operating normally
	•	0810 Pettersen shift begins (Merrelli depart)
	•	
	•	0848 Many gaps in the realtime data without a Ku dropout - over a very cold t-storm.  Maybe the color is beyond our scale on the MTS?
	•	1001 IL42 ON (Descent heaters)
	•	1013 timeDifference starting to blink yellow (-0.9 to -1.5 sec drift)
	•	1021 Instrument power OFF before descent (IL42, IL41, DC42, DC41)
	•	1034 Instrument power ON (DC41, DC42, IL41, IL42)
	•	1049 Created md5sums for sh130824
	•	1105 Instrument power OFF (DC41, DC42, IL41, IL42)
	•	1134 Landing

misc notes
	•	S-HIS operated solidly as usual during the entire flight.  AVAPS had success on all their planned dropsondes.  Also, AVAPS does not see the noise at the bottom of their retrievals, which is great news.  Lots of good multi-layered clouds off the coast and a lot of good sampling of the SAL
