There was not much happening today as there were no planned flights. Only the Water Quality Team made a trip to site 396 to collect a few water samples to replace some damaged in shipment.

Nonetheless we share some cool pictures of the AVIRIS-NG and AirSWOT duo, and of Luis Rios doing triple duty generating quicklook images, monitoring window temperature/ion pump, and graciously posing for a picture. The last picture shows the Atchafalaya river as seen by the AVIRIS-NG crew the this week.

On the processing side: AirSWOT data from 2021/04/02 is being uploaded into JPL servers.
