HERE is the survey for launch dates
Please email ml-c3@mit.edu
Sensors:
everything ordered, no info needed, need calipers to measure the lens and we need
need: calipers and weights
pass info to mechanical for physical sizes and software for programming
they are reading through the github to try and figure it out and don’t really need help
set up to test with the library with the correct cable.
Mechanical:
worked with the water jet and they cut 2 of the walls and we needed to file it down and so they need to figure out what needs to get inside
put all of the components into the spreadsheets
things left are to mill the rails and maybe 3D print the tops
Power:
voltage and amperage so we need to figure out how long things will be on for the flight
we need to find out the mass of the battery
plug in the components to see if it can power it and how long it will last
Radio/Ground:
got a new GPS and that’s about it
they are going to test if the telemetry radio can transmit
greg is going to bring the piece necessary to test
Software:
trying to work on software to read data from the camera we need to have physical device (need things from the sensor group)
need to try and get the code from the other computer
Component orientation:
Camera should be facing down and we need to have the radios facing down as well so we have to have that in mind to but we need to know antennas for GPS and 2 antennas for comms
Temperature regulation:
we don’t want the system to overheat, and we also don’t want things to get too cold
styrofoam for insulation (1/8 inch if possible of styrofoam)
GoPro:
we can use styrofoam as insulation to try and keep it safe. also try and see
