Because of finals week and finals week preparation, I haven’t had a chance to give any updates, but there is good news on the NASA front: funding has been approved as of December fourth. That means that I will be working on a CubeSat next semester! I actually already anticipated receiving funding as well as UK approval, so I’ve already started building my team. I feel good about my team, and when everything gets in full swing, I’ll give them a proper introduction.

Also, I had a telephone meeting this past Thursday with Dr. Martin from UK, Dr. Ioana Cozmuta from NASA Ames, and Dr. William Ailor from Aerospace Corporation. We discussed the possibility of working on a few different improvements of REBR rather than the CubeSat. I have yet to discuss it with all of my team members, but so far with those I’ve talked to, it seems pretty split on which we should work. Many more questions to be asked, but that’s okay–they’ll be answered in time.

More updates to follow.
