Flight Tests

  • Nov 2nd Pegasus 2

  • Lighting System

    • PCBs and code is tested on the ground

    • Harness & mounting in progress, will be ready before nov 2nd flight test, not sure if this will be tested

Task 1

  • State of autonomy system

    • IR/brightspot detection: in progress for next ft

    • updated geolocation logging: in progress for next ft

      • GPS outputs with time and drone odometry

      • Looking at how to send using mavlink to ground

    • KML sending/recieving and building on ground: probably not next ft, but the one after that

    • Looking to get more geolocation data, as well as IR camera data. Hopefully can test how good the IR detection is.

  • Mech going to make mount for IR camera on peggy

    • Current plan is to mount to arm, remove after task 1

    • When is this needed by?

      • preferably the flight test after the next one (after nov 2)

Task 2

  • Pump design has most parts here and will have CAD done by Thursday

    • pros: simple, easy to manufacture

    • cons: slow

    • required from other subteams: support for 2 pumps, solenoid valve too slow

  • Scoop design CAD to be done by Nov 4th

    • pros: much faster

    • cons: more complex

    • required from other subteams: support for 1 (maybe 2) servos

  • Still planning to do both and then decide later
