W25 Goals

Comp payload
- make it work
- test with practice
Eclipse flying as early as possible
- end of Feb for mech completion (could conflict with midterms)
- open to discussing timelines more
- Camilo PMing assembly for eclipse
- get a second set of wings
- collect data by the end of the term
New frame
- coordinate with subteams that want to use it (auto and efs)
- need list of what we need to put on the frame
- need this info ASAP
- get someone from mech just review for quality
Ground station case
- get mounting plate done for this
Tacking antenna side
- CAD finalized and reviewed for redesign
- manufacturing is low priority
Previous goals
- Eclipse wings → first set of wings flown on Feb 1, second set mid Feb
- Tail design for eclipse?
Houston

Tracking antenna:

Doubt it’ll be ready for this year comp
Plan was to think abt. redesign last term but most of the time was spent on getting the pitch to work mechanically
A redesign of the main plate has already been done, it needs to be reviewed formally (couple leads + tracking antenna PM Sohee)

Doing great
Small complaint: more happens in directors channel than it needs to be
- Needs to be more open
- Scheduling stuff
