The next day, a reconnaissance plane found winds of 85 to 90 mph (140 to 150 km/h).
Another reconnaissance plane found winds that were near hurricane strength on July 4.
On September 10, a reconnaissance aircraft found sustained winds of 30 mph (50 km/h) and a 1010 millibar (29.83 inHg) pressure reading.
Rather than seeing slower winds, the scientists found faster winds (over 1600 km/h) on more distant Neptune.
Later on July 31, satellite imagery revealed better organization, and another reconnaissance flight found winds at 91 mph (151 km/h) while flying at 1500 feet (457 m).
This upgrade followed a reconnaissance mission into the system that found sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).
Only isolated bursts of thunderstorms remained around the center and satellites found winds of only 25 mph (40 km/h).
An Aircraft went into Ida and soon found winds at 65 miles per hour, which meant it was nearly a hurricane.
In this area, satellites found sustained winds around 40 mph (65 km/h).
But he found only night, unhurried winds, and strange constellations.
