Cabin

Evan Janakievski

  • Carbon fiber tubes for the cabin were cut

  • PEEK inserts still need to be manufactured

  • Added the new seats to the layout and it has a lot more room, just need to solidify the plan for the cargo and position of the seats

Antenna Tracker

Arjun Mandair

Antenna Tracker General Updates

  • Good news, https://www.servocity.com/ Servos just restocked today!

  • Edit holes sizes and bending radius of sheet metal components to be more realistic

  • Had a variety of conversations with Anthony Luo about electrical components and understanding

  • Edit the Tracking Antenna Status & Mechanical/Electrical Components components to include full list of electrical and mechanical components

    • According to calculations present during the 2024-01-22 AEAC Sync , TOTAL = $274 + SHIPPING + TAX + ALUMINUM

  • For easy assembly and disassembly of electronic components on the metal baseplate, we were thinking about utilizing Velcro instead of screwing into the metal.

    • Original plan was to screw electrical components in but since height adjustment mechanism is no longer a requirement, we no longer need super secure components

    • Any objections?

Member Development Updates

  • Thushanth Parameswaran Saw your email on the Gemini Mount Completion, however cannot find CAD. Is it on SolidWorks PDM? Thanks for the help!

  • Sohee Yoon Sohee Yoon how’s the

    • Saw the CAD on PDM but haven’t had the chance to take a look at it. Will update you with feedback ASAP on Discord. Thanks for the help!
