Good progress is being made on the technical reports and some important design decisions have been made. Shahzad has come up with the preliminary structural design and Alex has designed the ADCS. It is likely that the ADCS will be able to be built 'in house' which will clearly reduce development costs. The structural design of the platform that Shahzad has selected is referred to as a 'double mono-block', (where the cube is cut in half along its diagonal). This allows for a flexible modular design.

In other developments, work is continuing into the electronics requirements of the satellite. The possibility of using a linux based architecture is being explored. 

The project team has arranged to meet on thursday 18th December to review all technical reports completed to date before they have to be submitted on the 19th. 

Work is developing on a 'synopsis' page that describes the KUbeSat programme and platform. This is in support of generating funding in the new year from local businesses and industry.

Technical reports will continue to be written into the new year before more in depth design decisions can be made.
