Thursday 23rd of July

Today we programmed our temperature and pressure sensors so as they would measure together. We hooked it up with a radio and satelite kindly given to us by UL. We could here the program happening through a radio which was pretty cool. We were seeing if we could pick up the sensors a kilometer away with the satellite. The computer was unable to read the signal so the team spent the rest of the day working on the scanner.

Today we met up in UL to get ourselves organised, and see how much we'd left to do. We have one month left til the big week. We made out a time table and gave each person a job to do before Thursday which is the next day we have organised to meet up. We updated our litrature review and we began to organise getting team hoodies.

Sarah and I (Rachel) are working on the parachute at the moment. We are making parachutes of varied sizes and styles and we're going to test them from the upstairs window.
