Discussion
Mission Feasibility Study
- This document will contain our research, our suggestions for mission concepts and an explanation of how we think we can achieve the mission.
- For each subsystem, we have to put outline different technologies that in our opinion is appropriate to the mission, and our recommendations for which should be used; basically a summary of our research.
- Everyone should also contribute to the Costs and Schedule sections
- Cost: mention what other systems cost, then suggest a cost for our system based on that
- For all the ideas, include citations (such as links)
- Staff Plan: explain how we're going to work together across continents
General
- The satellite must be stabilized on at least two axes
- Do we need thrusters or batteries for the CubeSat?
- Ways of moving the satellite without thrusters: gravity boom, magnetic coils
- New payload idea: pinpointing radars using relativistic doppler measurements (courtesy of Tom)
Tasks
- Add each subsystem's research (in a coherent, summary form) to the Mission Feasibility Study before next week
- Post an introduction on to the SEDSat-2 Blogs
