Additional Information

Take-off was at 1600 UTC. ER-2 landed in California at about 2200 UTC.
ER-2 climbed out of Madison and aligned on a 240 degree heading to overpass HSRL and AERI instruments based at Space Science
with thin cirrus overcast sky conditions. The ER-2 then flew SW to meet ADEOS overpass at about 1657 UTC over the Iowa,
Wisconsin border and flew the orbital track until about 1733 UTC (1716 UTC overpass). Skies were filled with mostly high thin to thick
cloud. ER-2 then turned westward and flew to CO/WY border track (43n, 109w to 43n, 111w) and then on to overfly Lake Tahoe from
NE to SW. Flight finishes with ER-2 landing at Moffett Field, CA.
Channel 5 has excessive noise, signal does not appear to be usable.
Channel 26 has numerous bad scanlines thoughout the mission. Fairly significant noise in channels 26-50 thoughout mission.
