The LiDAR lines at higher altitude (lines 7-12) have very low intensity values - initally thought to be caused by the intemittent AGC issue that affected the calibration data (#389). Queried with Leica and they think it is a result of the very high altitude of flight.

Taking HS.

The only basestation data for this flight is the ARSF temporary basestation over 100km away from main site. I've also found a EUREF permanent basestation (LAGO) but this is only 30s interval. Temporarily on hold whilst Ops get back to us to let us know if there is any better data for us to use.

Basestation data received today (05/07/11) from Pedro Leitao. Should be able to unblock this project.

Was on hold for a few more days whilst we waited for precise basestation coords from Pedro.

anch is now doing the navigation processing.

Navigation has been processed and verified against ASTER to be correct.
