Telecon tomorrow (Aug. 18 in North America, Aug. 19 in Australia) at the regular time: 6:00 pm Eastern (3:00 pm Pacific, noon Hawaii, midnight European, 8 am Eastern Australia). Discussion items include: flight and telescope plans and tests (including next week's 10 meter drop test here in Victoria and other planning for flight testing outside of New Hampshire); 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) Flight and telescope plans and tests, including next week's planned drop test -- see plan for that at http://projectaltair.org/HyperNews/get/AUX/2016/08/17/17.21-74532-tSetup_draft11aug2016.pdf II) Diffused light source, and its modelling, pre- and post-flight calibration, and goniometric calibrations III) Propulsion & motor control work, and the new motorized dummy payload IV) Nanosat solid models & Houman's thesis V) Computing/website VI) Grant applications VII) AOB
Talk to you all tomorrow, thanks! justin
