• I have a rough plan for what needs to be worked on at each work session, each week I will give overview of the next 2

• Goal for this week: Rev 2 Pegasus plate layups, PEEK parts + CF skeleton tubes for Rev 1 Pegasus

• Goal for the next week: Rev 2 center block, rev 2 center connectors, cut and drill CF tubes

Antenna Tracker

@Arjun Mandair

What is the Antenna Tracker?

• Antennae transmit and receive radio electromagnetic waves

• Essentially, they send and receive data to and from the drone

• Two Antenna Trackers:

  • Video: Data will be sent and received to display Camera information

  • RC (Remote Control): Data will be sent and received to control the drone remotely

Current Status

• Apart from a few electronic mounts to CAD, the next steps are to build

• This project is to support the comp drone and is super cool! More tasks to help out will be assigned next week at mech meeting.

Notes:

• Formal CAD review to be scheduled next week before mech meeting, ~6pm Nathan

• Check with EFS re: WEEF - ground station Fall 2022
