Instrument Debrief for LIP
Sortie Number: 05-9027
Instrument Performance:
Overall performance good. The upper field mill (replaced after previous mission) failed immediately following T.O. The left aft field mill initial failed (similar failure mode to earlier upper field mill failures) then recovered. It also developed an voltage offset that was maintained throughout the mission. The conductivity probe channel 1 (CP1) was noisy (as in previous flight). Appears problem not due to contamination but rather an electronic instability. (Upper Q-bay, Leff aft field mills replaced and capacitor added to CP1 following mission.
