1. Sunstate serviced the ISS-site generator (approx 12:30pm to 12:45 LT (20:30 to 20:45 Z), AND
2. Sunstate swapped the ISFS-site generator approx 1:05pm to 1:30pm LT (21:05 to 21:30 Z).
A lesson-learned is that swapping at the ISFS-site is a bit trickier than anticipated. Two issues:
- In addition to the ISFS and APG instruments, this generator powers the WindCube lidar and Halo Streamline lidar, so expertise is needed to shut off and restart these
- There is also some direct-wiring to support a 240V line for the K.I.T. tethersonde's winch.
Note: Sunstate delivers the generator with a full tank and expects it to be returned with a full tank. They will fill the returned ISFS-site generator for us and charge the going rate.
