So with the beginning of the new term, we have entered phase 2 of the project. For Aerospike, you can look forward to demo videos, actual production of the static spike, testing of the static spike, and more. Already we have the first 3 demo videos of the Schlieren photo system prototype up on our new YouTube channel, linked at the bottom of each page, and we have finished determining the geometry of the spike and cowling, with 3D modeling ongoing. We are also beginning to do CFD and FEA on the vacuum chamber and the spike-cowling package using Star CCM, Solidworks, and Creo Parametric. For Owlsat, we will be making a shake table, an off-gassing tester, and manufacturing of a 1U module for the cubesat. We also hope to have 2 prototypes of the PCB done. All of this and more by the end of the term! Look forward to much more coming soon!
