The helicopter arrived this morning, on time (early, even). It is an S-58 and will be exactly the same type which is used at the Games. I got this picture of it while it was landing, just before it was obscured by the dust it was kicking up…
The helicopter test today is HUGE – we really need this to work right. Having said that, it looks like all the ducks are in a row. The winch testing from yesterday went well, the hardware is in place, teams are here, TRUMPF is here with its laser and NASA is doing a great job of coordinating everything.

I’d like to be blogging more, but the data connection here is not very good – I can do Tweets (follow us at SEGames), but blogging requires more bandwidth – tough for us outsiders to get here. But we’re working on improving that too – after all, this is ‘test week’…
