ALOFT was successfully presented at the 2023 European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly held in Vienna, Austria, 24-28 April 2023 (EGU23-9381 and EGU23-3116).

On June 15, the ALOFT instruments were uploaded onto the ER-2 aircraft in Palmdale, California, as seen in the photos below.

On June 15, ALOFT performed a test flight from Palmdale, California.

The top two plots below are maps showing the flight pattern over California. The line changing color is the ground track of the plane and the changing color is a function of time. The aircraft flies northward (there are small arrows indicating direction).

The middle and bottom plots show the听counts in the听BGO+LYSO instrument and the altitude for the whole duration of the flight.听The x-axis is the time (total duration of about 3 hours 30 min). The count rates follow what is expected: reduction when leaving ground because the aircraft moves away from natural ground-level radioactivity, then there is sharp increase due to cosmic ray radiation when the aircraft reaches higher altitudes.

ALOFT made its first science flight on Monday 3 July! The NASA ER-2 aircraft left McDill Airforce Base near Tampa, Florida USA, at 17:30 local time (23:30 in Bergen). The flight lasted about 6 hours. The aircraft flew above active thunderstorms in the Gulf of Mexico and the Yucatan peninsula. All the instruments were operational. High-quality science data were gathered, including a gamma-ray glow (a persistent emission of gamma-rays from thunderclouds) observed with unprecedented details.

Martino Marisaldi, UiB, ALOFT deputy Principal Investigator and mission scientist now on duty at McDill, declared: 鈥楾his is extremely exciting! During the first flight we already reached many of the scientific goals of the mission. I think the ALOFT will reshape this scientific field for the years to come.鈥�

听

Today marks the completion of the 8th ALOFT flight, which covered the southwestern coast of Mexico in the course of eight hours. The end of the campaign is approaching, with only one or two flights remaining. So far, the ALOFT campaign has been a tremendous success. Many glows and TGFs have been recorded in varieties never before observed. The results from this campaign will definitely change the research field.

Below is a picture of the science team standing in front of the ER-2 on the morning of July 24, after the overnight flight to Campeche Bay 鈥� a flight that gave us everything.
