Hey guys,
Thanks for coming to the dry run on yesterday (Friday, Feb. 23rd) and many thanks to George for setting it up! Hopefully everyone who participated had a feel on how the field operation will be like during the campaign. We will do another dry run once we have settled down at UAF's lab in Fairbanks. We're now two weeks away from our departure to AK, which means we will have to get as much things together as possible. The hard deadline to ship out equipment and items in large crates is Wednesday, Feb. 28th. By the way, Balloon and Helium from NASA will arrive on March 9th and March 12th, respectively. Check out the following for a more thorough recap of our discussion about the above.

Hey guys,
We're now counting down to three weeks before the start of our campaign. Fortunately we got things going, especially with the wooden crates retrieved from Energy Research Parks' warehouse (many thanks to Elizabeth for that!) and travel requests being processed by the department. In the meantime, make claims for the issued winter gears (parkas, pants and boots) from 528 if you haven't done so. Most of us did it by the end of the meeting and we went with a "first come, first serve" basis. We went through the safety lecture today on how to protect yourself from the frigid weather at Alaska. Check out the following for more thorough discussion during the meeting. Happy Friday everyone,

As brought up in the meeting, we will be prioritizing the testing of navigation equipment we currently have in lab. We need at least one person to take charge of that task. We also got in touch with College of Technology people who will be joining us this year for the scope of the project. We will repeat the safety lecture we had today with the newcomers once we establish contact info with them.
