Hi,
Telecon tomorrow (Thursday Aug. 8) at our regular time of 11:00 am Eastern time (8 am Pacific, 17.00 European). Discussion items include: debrief from today's very successful drop test (but aborted flight, due to low cloud cover), flight readiness & weather forecasts, remaining science-flight-critical and other work, goniometric calibration, pre- and post-flight calibration, nanosat (and new multicolour laser module) design, computing/website, upcoming grant applications, and recap of flight plans. A reminder of the CSA project timeline is attached.

Here's the tentative agenda: I) Debrief from the successful parafoil drop test -- Yorke & Max's steering now works! (*) II) Flight readiness + weather forecasts, + critical hardware work to do during the rain III) Pre- and post-flight calibration and goniometric calibrations IV) Science flight plans V) Nanosat -- and new multicolour laser module -- design VI) Computing/website VII) Upcoming grant application status VIII) AOB
Talk to you all tomorrow! justin
