Today's flight is the last of 4 calibration test flights for the empty platform attached to the top of the fuselage. These calibrations will provide a baseline of data to be used when evaluating the data from future experiments and payloads carried on this platform. This way the effects of any interference or turbulence from the airframe itself can be calculated and compensations made.
