Some will be on Fridays for Evans schedule
Last flight test(s)
Feb 23: https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AQA4t
Good progress for IR detection system
false detections
camera settings are pretty good
configs are being adjusted
Flew with Houston and successfully identified IR beacon at multiple altitudes
can be tested on the ground for a lot of this
couple hundred from last FT
some false detections are from snow reflection
vibe on Pegasus is a concern
specific mounting to help minimize
making a new mount takes time

Peggy validation flight for W25 was successful. Flew well and same as last term
Goal was to test KML sending over MavLink on Peggy → not complete
Issues with Pi and temperature/weather that caused this test to not be successful
Tuning airframe had two flights that will allow logs to be analyzed for more adjustments
Next flight test
Mar 7th (Tomorrow)
