Objective and Summary:

Take-off at 1500 UTC. ER-2 landed at 2105 UTC.

ER-2 flew from MSN towards OSH, and proceeded east on transit to Lake Ontario where it crossed TERRA suborbital track (1630 UTC) at about the center of the Lake. Skies clear on the entire transit from WI to NH. Flew 6 snow lines in NH in clear skies on backside of departing low pressure. Collected AirMISR data segments over Lake Ontario (1623-1635 UTC) and on 5th snow line (1814-1826 UTC) in NH.

ER-2 and MODIS data over patchy snowcover in NH and over clear sky Lake Ontario (across MODIS swath).
