The LSU HASP management team has arrived in Fort Sumner, New Mexico and is in the process of setting up the ballooncraft systems. This involves checking out the HASP flight electronics, interfacing with the CSBF MIP system, and verifying the telemetry up and down links. HASP integration with the CSBF system will continue through Monday and Tuesday.

We are, in addition, very closely following the progress of Topical Storm Issac, which is now currently projected to make landfall on the Louisiana coast early Wednesday morning as a category 2 hurricane. As of this moment we are not expecting Issac to impact the HASP flight schedule.
