Thursday 2nd October¶
A test flight of SAFIRE ATR42 was performed in the South of France to assess the readiness of all instruments onboard. The team took this opportunity to fly under the Chinese DaQi-1 satellite, which carries the ACDL CO2 lidar, allowing for a direct comparison between the spaceborne and airborne lidars!
CHARM-F and passive instruments performed well, but too low a SNR was obtained with LiVe. Tests are planned for the following days to ready the lidar before the first scientific flight on Monday.
