The work began

After short test flight with Grisa on Thuesday, Wednesday was planed for first joint scientific flight.

We came at the airport at dark after yesterday discussion with handling to let us get in to the airport earlier, but were at the front doors with fuel canisters 1 hour to early. Fast preparation for take off is never good but happilly went well and we were just able to catch Aeolus satellite track on time. Comunication with French and German Falcons who were cruising above us was good also with Grecce team on the ground who were shooting with Lidars up to the sky. There was huge layer of Sahara dust in which we cruised at 3000 metres. Tomorrow evening we are flying west to catch another Aeolus orbit.
