Progress

To date:

The rocket has been assembled for preparation for integration. Rocket motor adaptor and body have been constructed. Integration is looking most feasible within the nose cone so the nose cone has not been connect to the parachute cord yet.

The circuit boards have been in-laid and are prepared to have the components soldered in place.

Electrical Componets Ordered

The final schematic for the board has been completed and the boards have been ordered for copper tracing. All other electrical components have also been ordered, and soldering will begin in the latter part of next week. Although we are behind our desired time line, we should be easily be able to catch up now that all parts have been ordered.

The Final Electrical Schematic can be seen here.

The Bill of Materials for all electrical components can be seen here.
