Primary Mission Test and Outreach Update


After completing our primary mission, we tested our Lumos2 can by taking it to Maxwell Park and flying up with our DJI Phantom drone! We transmitted our primary mission data to the ground successfully, as well as GPS data, and live plotted it at the ground station.
We are close to completing our secondary mission, and more videos will be up in the coming weeks.
Next week, we are speaking at an S1 assembly to try and inspire the younger pupils to get involved in  technology, and school clubs in general. The following week we are speaking at our school-wide assembly, and are announcing our charity outreach project before we head down to York on the 10th March 2016!

Second Sponsor!

We are proud to announce our newest sponsor CEL, makers of the 3D printer ROBOX. We have been using the ROBOX 3D printer for our CanSat extensively. It's highly accurate 0.3mm head has enabled us to print critical parts for our satellite with utmost precision and quality. Fast print times and ease of use have allowed us to produce many prototype parts for testing, which has boosted our development process significantly. We are now approaching the final stages of our build, final parts are arriving and final changes to the design are being made before a full prototype is printed for real life test.
