Auroral Crossing Data: Orbits 176 and 212

---

Fast Status - Orbit 220 Tuesday, September 10, 7:00pm EST

Currently, wires A, C, and D have finished the 1st stage of deployment. Both the outer and inner spheres have been released. Wire B is still not deployed. We are continuing attempts to free it.

With three wires successfully deployed, we will be able to carry out all of the FAST scientific objectives. The sensors are working very well. The DC electric field waveform (V5-V8) has very little distortion at the current 12-m baseline. The VLF and HF data have extremely low noise. Some examples of auroral crossings are attached.
