Friday 11/10/2006- regular SLI meeting. Divided into two groups, a payload group and a vehicle group. the payload group concentrates on what instruments we will use to recod our data. the vehicle group designs our rocket, makes any changes to the body if the payload group can't find recording devices that are small enough to fit inside the rocket. Started work on the PDR.

Thursday 11/16/2006- regular SLI meeting. Worked on Payload design, Vehicle design, and worked on our risk, hazard, and failure modes chart. Started to finish the preliminary design reveiw (PDR).

Sunday 11/19/2006-Further research on science payload.

Thursday 11/23/06- NO meeting- Thanksgiving

Saturday 12/16/06- Attended CATO rocket launch, got tips on building high powerrockets

Tuesday 01/02/07-regular meeting, discussed electronics, data collection, desisign of rocket, and paint scheme

Thursday 01/04/07- Regular meeting. we recieved the R-DAS unit that we are using to take data on our flight.

Thursday 1/18/07- We flew our 1/4 scale model on an A-8 and a B-6. Both times the rocket flew successfully and was stable. 

Friday 1/19/07- Regular meeting worked on CDR presentation and report.

Monday 1/22/07- CDR report finished

February- We started to build our rocket. We have finished the engine mount, put it in the lower stage, and finished the payload electronics. We have done tests to find out how much gunpowder we need to make the tubes separate. all tests were done safley, behind a blast shield and with fire extinguishers readily available.
