Dear POLARIS Colleague,
Just a short note to confirm that the strawman schedule that we sent out
last week has been adopted. We will modify the schedule on the POLARIS web
page to reflect the changes. The revised schedule is repeated below:
- 2 September - Commercial arrival in Fairbanks
- 3-4 September - Integration
- 5 September - First possible flight opportunity
- 13 September - POLARIS Open House - Fort Wainwright
- 18 September - Last possible flight opportunity
- 19 September - Pack/load
- 20 September - Transit to Barbers Point
- 21 September - Down day
- 22 September - Southern survey flight
- 23 September - Pack/load
- 24 September - Earliest possible transit to Ames
- 25 September - Earliest possible commercial transit home
The new schedule eliminates the science transit at the end of the
June/July campaign, thereby changing the dates of that deployment as follows:
- 23 June - Commercial arrival in Fairbanks
- 24-25 June - Instrument integration
- 26 June - First possible flight opportunity
- 11 July - Last possible flight opportunity
- 12 July - Download instruments
- 13 July - ER-2 transit to Ames (no instruments) and commercial
transit home
Sincerely,
POLARIS Program/Project Office
