COAST: First science flight (continued)

Four and a half hours of flying today.  Impressive match-up between the planned flight lines and the realized ones.  Communications between the plane and the hangar worked well except for the last 20 minutes or so.  The image below shows the planned lines (solid blue horizontal lines) with the actual flight track represented as filled circles, colored according to air temperature.   Views like this (which we were able to see in real time) especially gratified the PI and instrument scientists because of the clear representation of the match-up and the spirals in the flight pattern.  All three instruments appeared to be operating correctly.
