EOSS Flight Archives
Summary of all Flights
Flight history pages examine all flights as a group. For information about a
particular flight beyond that limited data see the recap below for that flight.
Since we have eclipsed 100 flights, I'm dividing the history into multiple pages:
Recap and Pre-Flight Announcement Files
- Click on Flight designations to see full recap of flight.
- Under the Ans (Announcement) column, if there is a yes, you can click on
it and see the original flight announcement.
Flight recaps from 1 through 12 were reconstructed from the EOSS Handbook and
telemetry logs and so are somewhat brief. Flights from 13 through 15 were
reconstructed entirely from memory and from telemetry logs and are extremely
brief.
The similarity of the Flight Announcement files and the Recap files is no
coincidence. However, I post these announcement files so that you may see what
we planned as opposed to what we ended up actually flying.

notes:
SGC = Nasa Space Grant Consortium
Most telemetry files are linked from their associated Flight
Recap pages. However, I used to place all telemetry into a zip file for flights
preceding EOSS-063. You can see which of these flights had telemetry files and
download them by following the menu link to the left to the
"Telemetry Files".
The "Telemetry Graphs" link
just shows a typical flight's telemetry. Just about all our flights will
generate the same telemetry. Naturally there will be minor variations due to
season, and other factors, but this one page gives a pretty fair overview of
what is happening up above our heads.
