HOTSPOT for calibration and pre-cruise prep
-Problems with the pressure sensor of LISST, high pressure out of water caused by salt accumulated in the cavity of the pressure sensor. Problem still present after flushing.
-Built 2 new battery packs, installed with Y cable.
-Cleaned ACS windows and flow tubes
