Today, the second day of AAL-PIP dry run at VTech, we moved all of the boxes of the AAL-PIP system to an indoor place, Virginia Tech Dairy Science Complex as it was expected to rain today. Joseph asked around to find a place where we could do dry run inside for the rainy day and luckily found this perfect place for the purpose. We tried to simulate the entire process from the tower setup to end-to-end test with Steve Musko at University of Michigan. We started at around 8am and were able to finish at around 4pm, which is earlier than we thought it would be.

| Because of the roof material that could block Iridium communication, the electronics box was located near the building door and all the science instruments including Iridium antenna were set up outside. Steve Musko at University of Michigan confirmed us that communication via Iridium satellite went through. |
