Update Summary
There is no telecom today. They will resume on Monday.
This storm seems to keep growing! hopefully we'll get some great activity if we can launch tomorrow!

Summary
Some new times for collection added.
News from MMS:
MMS will be in good position around 09:00 to 11:00 UT. Burst data will not be available until at the end of that window, but we can look for 1030 – 1230 UT, or so and again later around 1400, when VAP will be back in position.
News from Firebird:
News from AeroCube 6
From Drew - They had some great conjunctions and are now trying to get down the data.

There is definitely a storm going on. No EMIC waves since yesterday.

Very quiet...

News from THEMIS:
From Xiaojia - I have put together a couple of close conjunctions (in L) between three probes of THEMIS and this BARREL balloon, assuming that you launch at early local morning on August 7th and the geographic location is stabilized at esrange. Currently the THEMIS Ops team are working on implementing special time-based particle burst captures (at 128 Hz) during these intervals.
News from Cluster:
From Fabien - There is sadly no conjunction possible for a possible launch on 10 August. But the first good one is on 12 August at around 11 UT. Which with 6 balloons total is a definite possibility.
News from Firebird:
Summary
From Alex Crew - FIREBIRD is still getting down context (low-rate data) for these periods but we will hopefully (probably tomorrow am around the telecon) commence getting down some hi-res data from this interval [likely ~1920 UT...]

There were some nice EMIC waves yesterday at about the same time as the kiruna ones were occurring yesterday.

Coronal hole news
There is now an Earthward facing coronal hole. It's a bit on the small side. However it may hit August 16th or 17th. There is a larger but more poleward one almost to the middle of the earthward facing side.
