  1. Last week we worked on our Rover. Our senser is attached. We were working with AOA. We tried programing the senser but we didnt know what way was North.

  2. Our current mission staus is we had our light sensor on the rover. But we still have to figure out the program for the light sensor. We hope to do this soon. That way we can make sure it works and doesn't break on Mars.

  3. Currently, the EDL Team is modifying the heat shield. We still have far more to complete but I am confident the job will get done. For example, the EDL Team still has to make some kind of parachute, a top for the heat shield, and a bungie cord for the sky crane.

  4. So far MFO has been attached and is now programed. Although we need to perfect it. Also today we had to extend the arm becuase the IDep added to the arm the RAT which has motors on it with magnetic in them therefor making us need to extend the arm. ~E. Leo, MFO

  5. The AOA team had to figure out where the sensors were going to go. Without hitting the RAT or the light sensor, or anything else on the rover. The AOA had to work with the MFO team and the CorNav team. We also were going to use two senors but we decided we only needed one.

  6. So far VCom has come up with a iPod mount that we all agree on. we are still trying to find a good spot on the rover so that the camera can record the RAT drilling in the rock so that mission control can see that the RAT is working.

  7. The A.O.A team had to figure out where the touch sensors should go to protect the light sensor. We also had to work with the M.F.O team to help them place where the sensor is going and we also had to work we the CorNav team to help them place there ipods on the Rover. We also decided that we only need two touch sensors instead of three and placing them on the front and back. L.Taylor, A.O.A, Project Manager

  8. For EDL, the entry descent landing team we are working on improving the heat shield. We have completed the basic structure and we are just now working on the top part of the structure. We are making up the plan of the parachute and have many ideas how to build the sky crane.

  10. As IDep we found how to mount our RAT. We also were trying to find out how to make our RAT arm more stable, to make our RAT as successful as possible. We decided the only way to do so would be to change our entire design, setting us back. But we are currently caught up and in working condition.

  11. On IDep we found a mount that we could put our RAT onto. We are just also trying to find one last thing, how to make an arm to lower our RAT on top of the rock to drill.

  12. On IDep we mounted or Rock Abrasion Tool,R.A.T. to the rover. Now we have to create an arm to lower to R.A.T. on the rock so it can drill into it. Once that is done we have to test the program.
