Work continues on the KubeSat programme at regular pace. Chris Blower developed some STK (Satellite Tool Kit) plots on the size and orientation of potential orbits wherein he stated that an orbit with an altitude of 900 km with an inclination of 72 degrees will give the maximum coverage of 52000 seconds a week which roughly translates into 8.65% of the orbital period.
Alex reported with some useful data on image sensors as received from Aptina stating parameters of one such model. It was also benefitting to get an idea of the cost and their operational temperature range.
Jack will write a technical report on the software code wherein a feasibility study will be conducted to assess the capabilites of National Instruments' equipment and establish whether it is possible to develop one and export it to a General data target board. Meanwhile work continues as normal for Shahzad, Mohsin and Ben.
