Installation on the CIRPAS Twin Otter

I am now in Salinas, California to install my instrument on the CIRPAS Twin Otter. CIRPAS stands for the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies, and is part of the Naval Postgraduate School. The school is in Monterey, but the hangar is up the road in Marina. I'll be here for about a week installing, then I'll hand over control of my instrument to a graduate student from Cal.

Last night, we swung by Marina State Beach.


It was extremely windy


so most people stayed in their cars, then jumped out to take pictures of the sunset.


Today was a productive day. I got most of the big things into my rack.


Eventually, it will go into the Twin Otter.
