The project team has recently returned from the christmas holidays and work is now resumed, but before the holidays, the team submitted their required technical reports on Facilities, Communications, Satellite Deployment, ADCS, Structure and Ground Station. Jack Burrell has made a rough solidworks model of a double monoblock structure for the KUbesat to give the team a greater familiarity of the shape than what a simple 2-D drawing would provide. It has been established that the manufacturing facilities available at Roehampton Vale Campus are adequate for fabrication of the satellite structure. Formal contact has been established with AMSAT-UK for ground station related information. The team is also evaluating the feasibility of installing a communications tower on university grounds. Such an undertaking will have to involve approval from the university adminsitration and the local Council as well as substantial funds.
