As I mentioned in our previous correspondance, sat-comm has picked up a number of small readouts on the array. It could be nothing, meteor showers aren't uncommon in this sector as you're well aware. Regardless, remain vigilant; ground teams have been unable to confirm visual sighting of the targets due to the recent storms on the surface.

Understood. Was sat-comm able to determine an approximate temperature, or size, of the targets?

Negative. Atmospheric radiation caused by the recent solar flare is disrupting accurate scanning. Electronics inside Hipper Station and Aurek are shielded, but anything beyond that is distorted on the imagery. A ground sweep is scheduled to sweep over the projected impact sites when the weather stabilises.

Is there an ETA on the conclusion of adverse weather events? It seems pretty calm where we are. Should we send out a drone?

Negative. Again, the upcoming flares will fry its electronics before you reach any of the sites. Frankly, I'd advise lowering the communication array ASAP to avoid any unnecessary maintenance works. SAT-COMM has a faint visual on Aurek site, and will be vigilant for signs of trouble.

As for the weather, no estimation available at this time. Batten down the hatches and wait out the storm. It may seem calm, but current intel suggests this is just the calm. We'll attempt contact again when conditions return to normal. Glory to the Primarch.

Understood - Will make preperations to secure and deactivate comms equipment for the duration of the storm. Glory to the Primarch.
