Mills Cross Radar

 

After testing the receiving and transmitting panels all 16 panels were placed on the 30 cm high and 18 m times 18 m balloon sledge . The cables have been connected and are being tested from the weatherport. The radio echo sounding images from the UHF radar are impressive and we are all looking forward to moving the electronic racks to the Cabin PistenBully and starting the imaging.

2. Prepared for end-of-season generator shift
3. Moved all the Mills Cross electronics to the PistenBully
4. Tests of system from the PistenBully
