REMARKS:
Mission Notes: Completed 5 hurricane penetrations. 

Met System Used: F

Equipment Issues:
- DSO Pallet had issues connecting and initialising the sondes in the beginning, LM could do them but it took more tries than it should, he wrote it up in the 781 for the telemetry receiver going bad. 

Transmitted:
RECCOS: 
VDMS: 5
DROPS: 21
BAD SONDES (Launched, not transmitted): 3
Details:
Launch Time	Sonde Issue
1113		Failed after launch
1543		Failed around 761mb	
1703		No GPS launch detect. BUT then once it reached the water there was data that came back. The RH looked incorrect though and it said that it launched about 2 minutes after it was actually launched. It was the NE Eyewall drop and showed the highest winds, but based on all the other issues we decided not to disseminate it.
