Hi Justin
       That's wonderful news about today's flight, well done! Looking forward to an update tomorrow. I should be able to dial in before the start of the MSE science meeting here tomorrow morning.
cheers
karun

Subject: Telecon tomorrow (Thursday) @ 1:30 pm Eastern time (Re: CSA FAST)

*** Discussion title: ALTAIR General

Hi!

Telecon tomorrow (July 30) -- and we can report on our basically
successful flight today, with launch just after 5 am this morning, and
telescope imagery obtained by Yorke (which will be posted within the
next few days) with assistance from student Asher Lantz -- at our usual
time: 1:30 pm Eastern (10:30 am Pacific, 19.30 European). Discussion
items include: today's (July 29) flight, flight planning, calibration
and observation tests, light sources and light source modelling,
goniometric and pre- and post-flight calibration, communications tests,
new nanosat bus and payload solid models, computing/website, grant
applications, and recap of schedules. A reminder of the CSA project
timeline is attached. Yorke is driving to New York tomorrow for a
weekend family reunion so it's unlikely that he'll be able to join, so
it may be a short meeting tomorrow sadly with just me to report on this
morning's adventures.

 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 (1:30 pm Eastern, 10:30 am Pacific).
 4) If there is any trouble, or if you don't get a 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 plans
 II)  Recent calibration and observation tests
 III) Diffused light source and its modelling, pre- and post-flight calibration, and goniometric calibrations
 IV)  Nanosat solid models, and Houman's thesis
 V)   Computing/website
 VI)  Grant applications
 VII) AOB

 Talk to you all tomorrow, thanks!
 justin
