Developments this week have mainly involved the project team finishing their technical reports. In addition each team member is compiling their individual contribution for the final report which will be integrated together from 1st May. 

The issues with the FM 430 discussed previously have been resolved and plans to use it in development remain unchanged. 

Finally Ben has confirmed that the structural design is nearing completion which represents a major milestone in the programme evolution.

The team is now focussing on compiling the final report for the project. Other work continues. There are issues with the integration of the FM430 into the satellite structure and recent developments have rendered it (FM 430) obsolete. Discussions on the subject will be held in today's group meeting

The team continues to work on assigned tasks, with some changes. Benjamin Hall in addition to making a structural prototype, is also working on a Launch and Vibrational Analysis of the satellite through finite element analysis. Alex Wigg is incorporating Magnetometers into his ADCS design, whereas Shahzad Khan is working on the design of the Thermal Control subsystem, thus completing the KUbesat generic design.
