    I've spent the past two days easing back into some non-LightSail work. First up is a long feature on SLS ground systems. Lots of photos.

    Cheers to a fine ship that overcame a lot of problems and still got the job done. I'm looking forward to meeting her successor.

    Farewell, LightSail. Ted Molczan of SatObs (very reliable during mission), call reentry at 1:23 p.m. EDT / 17:23 UTC.
