Telecon today (June 23 in North America, June 24 if east of the prime meridian & west of the international date line) trying the *new* time two hours from now: 6:00 pm Eastern North America (3:00 pm Pacific, noon Hawaii, midnight central Europe, and 8 am Eastern Australia). Discussion items include: Meade telescope status and tests; flight planning; light sources and light source modelling; goniometric and pre- and post-flight calibration; propulsion work; nanosat bus and payload solid models; computing/website; grant applications; and recap of schedules.
Here's how to connect:
1) Open Skype on your computer (note that of course, you should first install Skype, http://www.skype.com , on your machine if you haven't already). 2) In the "Contacts" menu, add me ( jalbertuvic ) as a contact, if you haven't already. 3) Just wait for me to Skype-call you at the usual time (4 pm Eastern, 1 pm Pacific). 4) If there is any trouble, or if you don't get a Skype-call for some reason and would like to join, just send me an e-mail (jalbert@uvic.ca).
Here's the tentative agenda:
I) Telescope tests and current status II) Flight planning III) Diffused light source, and its modelling, pre- and post-flight calibration, and goniometric calibrations IV) Propulsion & motor control work V) Nanosat solid models & Houman's thesis VI) Computing/website VII) Grant applications VIII)AOB
Talk to you all in two hours, thanks all!!! justin
