Primary range about 110 meters; secondary about 100.

What is the meaning of primary range vs. secondary range?

Within 100 meters. Thermal data looking good. Looking at 13:10 GMT for a capture, should be in daytime.

13:10 GMT capture time estimate (70 mins from now).

Hawthorne holding Dragon

Dragon hold commanded around range of 80 m (primary)...not sure if that's going to bump the just read-up timeline.

reconfiguring lidar

psloss · « **Reply #271 on:** 05/25/2012 12:02 pm »

Just a temporary hold at 80m -- going to reconfig LIDAR (swap modes) and pick up.

The times that Josh read were arrival at 30 meters at 12:13 GMT and then resuming from there at 12:40 GMT, with 13:10 GMT for the capture.

LIDAR reconfig noted on the loop. Swapping modes, then resume.

KU returns from TDRSS-west

Hawthorne still working lidar and comm, should be another 5 minutes
