Dense fog in Thule prevented the IceBridge team from making a science flight today. Keeping an eye on conditions for a flight tomorrow.

[ARCHIVED - NASA Ice @NASA_ICE]

Packing and work on the P-3 continued this afternoon and
the team plans to take off for Thule tomorrow morning at 8:15 local time.

Global Hawk? It's NASA's newest research aircraft making its first science flights this month. http://cot.ag/9BbMn0

[NASA ESPO Team @NASA_ESPO]

At 1:01 p.m. local time, the aircraft turned east to repeat the loop to 85N. All science instruments are operating nominally.

[NASA ESPO Team @NASA_ESPO]

11:53 a.m. PST, the Global Hawk reached the northernmost point of this mission: 85N latitude, then turned south.

[NASA @NASA]

The Global Hawk is over the Pacific now on 3rd science flight. Goal: sample Arctic atmosphere north of Alaska up to 85 North.

[NASA ESPO Team @NASA_ESPO]

Global Hawk Science Flight will now be taking off on Friday morning, due to weather.

[NASA ESPO Team @NASA_ESPO]

Possible 28-30 hour science flight today for the Global Hawk, depending on the weather. Stay tuned!
