Comments

It's been a big day of testing, as the temperature dropped well below -10 for the first time. This morning we donned our wet weather gear, and successfully tested the fire sprinkler system in the cargo hold. All going well, we should finish our tests and trials in the next few days.

REGARDS: Nick & Michael
