Subject: Flare Genesis update - Dec 23 

Both the upper atmosphere and surface wind forecasts are unfavorable for a launch, even on Christmas. Meanwhile, the Flare Genesis team is working to improve the data analysis and display software and to solve an intermittent tape drive problem. AR8806 would be the ideal Flare Genesis target, but at this rate we may end up focusing on the bright region just now coming over the NE limb.
