+ SC Arrival/ Fitcheck
The SC arrived right on schedule on Tuesday. Due to some
extremely windy conditions, it arrived at the processing
facility early the next morning, where it was unpacked and
prepared for the Fitcheck with the adapter. After a
successful Fitcheck on Wednesday, the SC made its way into
Hall 103A for standalone operations. We will welcome the
propulsion team and say good bye to some of our colleagues
with a barbeque on Sunday.

+ Arrival In Baikonur
The majority of the Sirius FM-5 campaign team landed in Baikonur just after a rare rain shower on Saturday afternoon. We were met by a cool breeze and a gorgeous day. The days have remained cool and sunny and we hope that this uncharacteristically fine weather holds for our Memorial Day barbeque this evening and spacecraft arrival tomorrow.
