We will not have a launch today. The next chance for our first launch from Halley will be December 26th. The first launch for SANAE may be around the 28th of December.
There is a small storm going on right now and it looks like it may get a bit bigger if Bz turns southward again. NOAA is predicting that there is a chance of a larger flare erupting over the next couple of days. The coronal hole in the Northern Hemisphere is still expected to become potentially geo-effective tonight and tomorrow. Our first possibly bursts collection for EFW on the Van Allen Probes will start on the 26th when they fly over the Halley and SANAE stations.
Ground Weather:
SANAE IV:
Temp.: -8. C
Wind speed: 18 knots
Halley 6:
Temp.: -5.2 C
Wind speed: 1 knots
Payloads up: Our first possible launch date is late on the day of Dec. 26 th.
SANAE IV: none
Halley 6: none.
Payloads coming down:
none
Recent possible events:
none.
Collection times for EFW: Maps of these collection times are attached.

Halley Bay :
A number of EMIC Waves
GOES Electron Flux:
There is a slight decrease in the electron flux over the last 12 hours
GOES Proton Flux:
There is a decrease in the proton flux over the last 12 hours.
Space Weather from Spaceweather.com and SWPC
Solar wind speed: 274.5 km/s
Solar proton density: 1.8 cm^(-3)
Sun spot number: 96
NOAA has the likelihood of a M class flare at 35% and a 1% chance of an X class flare.
Kp is quiet
kp = 3 with a 24 max of kp = 3
Bz = 4.2 nT north
Btotal = 9.5 nT
There is a Coronal hole in the northern hemisphere which could possible hit Earth on Dec. 25th - 26th.
From Kyoto:
AE: AE is at and about 500 nT and looks like it is continuing! Perhaps we will have some christmas lights in the sky tonight!
Dst: on our way to a small storm with a Dst_min of -39nT and possibly still decreasing.
Have a good day and We hope you enjoy the Holidays!
