Well it is now official. This is the longest HASP flight ever! We have been in the air almost 21 hours, 19 of which were at float altitude, and we still have several more hours to go. The reason for this is the very indeterminate high altitude winds that occur during "turn-around" conditions. The figure on the right show the convoluted path HASP has taken while being pushed along by these winds. On the current heading we are going toward clear territory and will likely terminate somewhere between Tatum and Lovington in about 4 hours. We expect sun rise today at about 06:30 MDT and so should get some very nice views from CosmoCam during termination.

Many thanks to Dr. Guzik, Mike and CDBF team.
I am glad to see the progress of HASP flight and getting data flight from our payload#7. I hope that all the groups are getting good data files.
I think LED blinking at last night was from our UND+UNF payload #7. Would like to give me your feedback about it?
