Telecon tomorrow (Thursday Oct. 3) at our new regular time of 2:30 pm Eastern time (11:30 am Pacific, 20.30 European). Discussion items include: upcoming operational work, goniometric calibration, pre- and post-flight calibration, nanosat and new multicolour laser module design, computing/website, upcoming grant applications, and recap of operation plans.
A reminder of the CSA project timeline is attached, and I should mention how we're doing as compared with our timeline: Balloon-wise, our "Balloon Payloads Ready" milestone was set as Aug. 1, 2013, and our "Initial Balloon Data" milestone was set as Oct. 15, 2013. So we're not extremely seriously behind quite _yet_, but we _are_ in serious danger of becoming so soon -- we definitely need flights and data to avoid getting more behind schedule. Nanosat-wise, the "First iteration nanosat preliminary design complete" milestone is Oct. 15, so again we're not _very_ behind yet -- but again in danger of becoming so quite soon.
