ROPA - Update - January 20, 2007

A marginal night all the way around: mediocre weather, neither bad enough to take the day off nor good enough to use; and mediocre solar wind, not slow enough to give up on but nothing to launch into. We are hopeful that a sunspot is about to face us (see http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime-images.html) and the high-speed solar wind from the recent coronal hole is still hanging in there, so we'll see.
