Blog 10: Senior Project Update

(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component? 
I recently met with Alex from the team to construct the structure of the CubeSat. I will be meeting with him again soon to complete the rest of the structure, then I will most likely meet with another member of the team to assist in another aspect of the satellite.

(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project?  The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November.  Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

I reviewed the grant proposal for the CubeSat's hopeful flight upon NASA's zero-gravity flight, and it provided me with a basis for many other topics and terms to research. From this piece of research, it led me to find out what flywheels and microcontrollers were, and led me to investigate EMI; a problem the CubeSat team is trying to combat.

(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did.  For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.
