Testing and development are now shifting to a 20-hour cycle--sometimes 24). Overnight team starts testing at 5 a.m. Early team takes over at 10 a.m. and goes to about midnight. Late team starts about 1 p.m. and goes to 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Got a real show just after sundown. We?re guessing there was a rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It was very dark here, but the trail was brilliant when it got high enough to be sunlit.

Testing has been focused on getting LIDAR to filter data more effectively to the other modules.
