Progress

Last week we assembled the components of the cansat. We have ordered our Co2 sensor and are awaiting the arrival of the parachute material. Each group has completed a literary review containing adequate research in all fields. We are now in the process of finalising our design document and hope to have it completed by the end of the day. We've contacted local and national news stations, radio programs and newspapers. We also appeared in last weeks edittion of our local newspaper. We have also made contact with our local university and are recieving excellent advice and help from the staff. We are hoping to meet with John Nelson, a Senior Lecturer in the Computer Engineering department from the 14th to the 18th of June. Over the next week we are going to carry out some of the cansat experiments and testing out our ideas.
