Unpacking Checks

Raw applanix data appears corrupted (along with 186a). Callum reported that there are errors with the unit writing via USB so had to resort to ethernet.

Nav Data

We recieved this flight's data too late to access basestation data from the OS's FTP. I have put a request to BIGF to access 30s RINEX data for the following stations (which cover the start / end times recorded in the Owl headers).

• PETE
• SNEO
• NEWR
• STEE
• ARDL

Navigation Processing

• ARDL
• ATTL

• SKEE
• SNEO

Along with broadcast ephemeris data.

BIGF will need acknowledging in data delivery.
