AMF2 operations officially begin tonight with the start of radiosonde launches at 23:30 UTC, 30 September 2011 (04:30 a.m. local time, 1 October). A staff of local launchers has been hired for the arduous task of launching eight sondes per day, every day, for the next six months. Below is a picture of the sonde launchers along with the AMF2 team currently on Gan including, of course, our illustrious principal investigator Chuck Long.
Following are pictures of the final site configuration at the Gan Airport.
