JP Aerospace DSS2 Trip - Day 1: Friday, Oct 5, 2001

Our group came in 7 vehicles after a 5:30AM rendezvous in Fremont on Friday. We were in camp a little after 2PM. We were generally on schedule again thanks to efforts from everyone in the group to keep things moving.

(1488x992 418K) (500x333 17K) The South Bay Team puts up an HF antenna mast as an experiment since we have two HF mobile rigs in the group.

(1488x992 561K) (500x333 32K) At the AeroPAC launch site on the playa, one of the rockets was painted in camo. The builder's humor in this was apparent because it looked like an unguided bomb, but it's actually a flightworthy rocket.
