Update Eight successful flights (test) UCATS (GC/OZ) worked on all flights Problems with Ku band modem forced two postponements. Return to flight in October/November hour test flight over the ocean planned in early Oct. Two flights planned (1) 20- hour to Trinidad Head, California, and (2) 6-hour fight over Channel Islands NASA planning a UAV flight in 2007 NOAA Administrator VADM Lautenbacher during Media Day at GA Gray Butte, CA on 20 April New Web Page
