Project Update

The project team has been very busy, and is now in the full swing of the satellite programme. 

We completed a presentation discussing our project to visiting fellow Dr. John Farrow from the International Space University (ISU), Strasbourg on Monday 17th November. Overall the presentation went well. Constructive feedback was given about the depth and detail of sub system requirements which was taken on board and will be addressed as the project develops. 

Research activities have now begun and good progress is being made.

Chris is focussing on the communications sub system.
Jack's research focus is centered around what facilities that are required to develop the satellite.
Ben is investigating the ground station that will be built.
Mohsin is analysing deployment mechanisms.
Shahzad is researching the satellite structure.

Each research activity will result in a technical report, the first of which will be delivered next week.
