Maryland 8:00 p.m. Rafael Rincon: I am calling from the Bay Bridge in Maryland, on my way to Goddard after a long day at Wallops. I’m almost there, after the final flight for the DBSAR on this campaign. It’s been a very long, but a very good day. The DBSAR worked beautifully, with no hiccups […]

Bangor, ME 10:00 p.m. From Rafael Rincon: I’m pretty busy tonight, even though it’s already late. I’m in the hotel room after a long day, and I have had to bring the computer from the P3 to the room to do some trouble shooting tonight. I’ll be working very late again, it looks like, but […]
