Today's first meeting for SEDSAT-2 went well, although we discovered that the chat program at seds.org/chat does not work well with IE for some reason--we will need to solve this before the next meeting.

Participants:

  • Kirk Kittell
  • Anbarasan V
  • Amrut Yalagi
  • Aaron Schultz
  • Lavina Parwani

Discussions (very basic requirements):

  • Prelim design review in Hyderabad, India on Sunday 23 September in conjunction with IAC (http://www.iac2007.org.in). IAC 2008 will be held at roughly the same timeframe in Glasgow, Scotland, and we will plan for this as well.
  • Proceed with CubeSat platform.
  • Payload will collect images for remote sensing (still leaves a very broad definition)
  • Satellite will communicate with ground.

Open tasks:

  • Collect links to all current/previous CubeSat teams and post at SEDSAT-2:Research -- this will be background research for understanding what a CubeSat can do, and will provide references for later.

Following week:

  • Research launch systems
  • Narrow down scope for payload

The next meeting will be held on Sunday, 3 December at 14:00GMT. (to convert 14:00GMT to your favorite time zone: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=12&day=3&year=2006&hour=14&min=0&sec=0&p1=0)
