@Domenic Cacace (RIT Student)

• Lots of building to do

• Needs more analysis

•  

Space Race (Public Unsafety)

@Patrick Killian (RIT Student)

• Airframe done!!!

• Avionics is “flight critically” ready (datalogging components still being worked on)

• Payload is assembled, but needs a few fixes and the lights added

• Reefing system assembled and low-speed testing has begun.

• Recovery to ensure the fit of all components

• Payload to finish assembly

• Structures to sand down fin fillets

• Avionics waiting on Eggfinder USB interfaces for programming

• Need to get paint and plan to paint next Tuesday

Space Race (xpa7234@rit.edu)

Kyle Scher

• Rocket is mostly done, structures is over

• Avionics ready for deployment testing

• New payload

• New color scheme

• deployment testing

• avionics bay construction

• painting

  • stencil

Liquid Propulsion

@Jonah Gimmi (RIT Student)

@Riley Quinn (RIT Student)

• Both CDRs done

  • lots of professors attending

• Nitron 1 success

Solid Propulsion

@Wynter Brigitta-Maita (RIT Alumni)

• waiting for resin

• Set up using Larry URRG’s lab

• ruffled feathers

•  

Avionics (Hardware)

@Ben Hyman (RIT Student)

• Lots of backplane assembly and testing

• Backplane v2 arrived

  • Seems to work perfectly so far

  • Ethernet is fully functional

  • No issues

    • (Yet) - Aaron

• Sensor Mod v2 Testing:

  • handful of issues discovered that justify spinning a new revision

  • Can be finished before the end of the semester, but probably won’t have enough time for testing

  • Will be in hand by IREC, probably ship some to Aaron for test

• GRIM Reefer:

  • Shares an issue with sensor mod, not flight critical

  • Seems to work fine otherwise

• POTATO:

  • chillin so far

Avionics (Software)

@Aaron Chan (RIT Student)

• Sensor Module v2 Testing:

  • It’s shit. But I still love the sensor module team

  • More testing today. Reading the sensor bus seems a little inconsistent

  • Ethernet works with some re-wiring

• Need to investigate filesystem causes crashes on the new module revisions

• Power Module and Radio Module can be marked (minimum viable) finished

  • Adding more debug software into radio mod

  • I lied we still need to just add a few calls for data logging but other than that :)

President

@Wynter Brigitta-Maita (RIT Alumni)

• Sep test SOP

  • made the Object (charge wire to MiniSafeD)

• Imagine update

• onboarding docs

• Backplane, GRIM Reefer, and POTATO ordered last Saturday

  • GRIM and POTATO finished yesterday, Backplane finished overnight

  • Waiting to be shipped

  • Probably be here this week

• Backplane Ethernet with Switchblox confirmed to work

• Learned how to organize using boxes and labels

• Testing sensor module today and maybe assembling more boards

Avionics (Software)

@Aaron Chan (RIT Student)

• Sat down with Nate to write radio module software for transmitting Ethernet data over LoRa

• Sitting down with Brian today to read sensor data

• Going to finish the rest of the software this week including

  • Radio module receiver software

  • Sending sensor data over Ethernet (sort of done already)

  • GPS data over LoRa

  • Data logging? Unless Yev gets to it first

• Plugged in Autopilot for the first time and it might be working

  • Cant fully test until I tell the buzzer to stfu (its loud and I cant work over it)
