Hi all,
No telecom today. We will resume them tomorrow, December 31st. Enjoy this time off!
I'm flying back to the East Coast today so will update you ASAP about a launch.
Ground Weather:
SANAE IV:
Temp.: -5 C
Wind speed: 14 knots
Halley 6:
Temp.: -4.3 C
Wind speed: 14 knots
Payloads up: Possible launch tomorrow from either or both Halley and SANAE although SANAE is expecting large winds.
SANAE IV: none
Halley 6: 2T
Payloads coming down:
none
Collection times for EFW:
2013-12-29
A: 18:50 - 21:50 (MLTs from 11-14)
B: 19:00 - 22:00 (MLTs from 11-13.5)
2013-12-30 (nice pass b/t stations)
A: 15:45 - 18:45 (mlts from 14 - 16.4)
B: 14:00 - 18:00 (mlts from 12 - 16)
2013-12-31 (nice pass just to West of stations)
A: 16:00 - 18:00 (mlts from 12 - 13.5)
19:45 - 21:45 (mlts from 14.5 - 16)
B: 17:15 - 19:30 (mlts from 12-14)
20:00 - 22:30 (mlts from 14-16)
2014-01-01 (pass quite a ways to the West of stations)
A: 19:15 - 20:45 (mlts from 12 - 13)
23:00 - 2014-01-02/00:30 (mlts from 14.5 - 16)
B: 20:00 - 21:30 (mlts from 11 - 13)
2014-01-02 (pass quite a ways to the West of stations)
B: 00:30 - 02:00 (mlts from 15 - 14.9)
Halley Bay :
very quiet
GOES Electron Flux:
The electron flux is normal and expected to stay normal over the next three days.
GOES Proton Flux:
The proton flux has returned to normal and is expected to stay normal over the next three days.
Space Weather from Spaceweather.com and SWPC
Solar wind speed: 315.4 km/s
Solar proton density: 1.0 cm^(-3)
Sun spot number: 119
NOAA has the likelihood of a M class flare at 35% and a 5% chance of an X class flare.
Kp is quiet
kp = 1 with a 24 max of kp = 2
Bz = 2.7 nT south
Btotal = 6.1 nT
There is a coronal hole starting to show up on the Eastern limb of the sun which may be able to reach us on Jan 2 - 3. This coronal hole appears to be more equator ward than the previous one and is thought that it may merge with a glancing blow of a CME which will hit on Jan. 1st and possibly produce some activity.
From Kyoto:
AE: quiet.
Dst: quiet.
