Fourth Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
This week, we spent most of the time working out the kinks and errors that were possible reasons why HYDRA, the program that we are working on, wasn’t giving us readouts. We fixed all of the errors as you saw last week, but when we plugged it into everything, it was still giving us no […]
Third Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
This week we spent our time editing the code to get rid of the error messages for the labeling so the new code would correspond with the new labels. In coding, a simple capital letter can screw up your whole program. Our HK (HouseKeeping) packet of code had one set of labels whereas the TLM […]
Second Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
The second week we switched gears with what we were coding. This time we were adding the code for the sensors to make sure that the satellite will as a whole function properly and distribute the power evenly. This time we had to add code for the EPS sensors, which is the board in the […]
First Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
The first week at the Aerospace Engineering labs in CU Boulder was so interesting! We met our mentors, Andrew and Les, who showed us around and gave us a brief tour of the Engineering section on campus. After that, we went to the place we will work for the rest of our time: the conference […]
