Great news - our component selection is finalized, and we've placed our order! Some components have already been delivered, while others are on their way. Electrotechnicians have completed schematics for our project and are working on PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and CanSat 3D design as we speak! Check out our in-development 3D design of the CanSat below!

Yet another milestone has been reached - last Friday, we submitted our Preliminary Design Review (PDR)! This document outlines key details about our project and the initial steps in bringing it to life. This document, along with our components list, will be available for viewing at the end of our journey—after the competition in late March.

Our programming team has been steadily making progress on preparing code for both the ground station and CanSat. As soon as the components are delivered, we will start testing and adjusting our code to match the requirements of the sensors. Next, we'll start testing our communication module’s reliability and speed.

That’s all for today! We will be back with new and exciting updates. Until next time!
