Mon 11 Feb Load equipment on R/V SPROUL . Rig for deployment. Test winch. Rig GPS and survey system.

Tues 12 Feb Underway 0800. Deploy two strings of magnetometers. See discussion below schedule.
Geolocation survey to determine the position of the two sensor strings.
Return to port. Drop off the deployment team.
Ship returns to sea to execute planned target tracks over sensors.

Wed 13 Feb Ship at sea conducting planned target tracks.

Thur 14 Feb Ship returns to port to pick up deployment team (or deployment team comes out on small boat).
Retrieve both sensor strings. Return to port.
Offload SPROUL. Stage gear in MARFAC equipment yard. Winch and HPU might remain onboard.

The plan for this sea test is to install two strings of magnetic sensors. One string of three He3 sensors on the P2A array (100m spacing between each magnetometer). The P2A array has a large metal sled with electronics bottles. We deployed this configuration off the NEW HORIZON in December. Another string of four HE3 sensors (100m spacing between each magnetometer) will probably also be deployed. This string would be identical to the one we deployed off SPROUL on 28 January. Once again will want to install Subseasonic transponders along each string to facilitate geolocation of the system. The two strings will be installed parallel to each other roughly 200m apart.
