A clear sky zenith view intercomparison of S-HIS and ARIES will be attempted onsite if conditions allow. Dan LaPorte / Bob Knuteson / Steve Dutcher will coordinate with Stuart Newman. A post experiment comparison between S-HIS and NAST-I should allow us to effectively compare all 3 instruments in detail.

S-HIS
- S-HIS in pod with EGSE
- S-HIS on tarmac near hangar
- scene mirror programmed for 3-view (HBB, ABB, Zenith) or 4-view (HBB, ABB, Zenith, and Nadir)
- Place NAST-I ice bath blackbody in Nadir view????

- on tarmac at Southwest services
