Deliverables:

  • Data on the status of the testing 'ground station'. Final numbers on attenuation.
  • Possible useful contingencies to test.
  • Updates/final results on sun lamp effectiveness.
  • Exact app to use to measure magnetorquer.

Zac's Thoughts 2/1/2020:

  • Release the kill switches, turn it on. Verify that satellite deploys and does the things after waiting.
  • Verify deployment and beacon packets.
  • Fake ground station that does the commands.
  • Sun lamp to each panel independently.
  • Leave running?
  • Yes attenuation and ask for details.
  • Compass app on the phone, moment in the right direction. There's an app for this.
  • Get some lamps and IR filters from solar. They are coming at some point?!? IR mirror and lamps.
