Coming Together

Sunday, March 21, 2010

 

Hey everyone, Kevin here. Today is Sunday the 21st of March. Tomorrow we have a pretty substantial report due for our design class. At this point it is our responsibility to have the design nearly finalized and I think we are panicing a little! Most of our group was here at engineering hall last night (morning) until past 6am working on this design and we anticipate being up late again tonight! Fortunately some of us were able to break away for a while to watch the badgers get slaughtered by cornell.
All in all, even though we feel behind, I am optimistic about how mcuh we have really gotten done. The life support systems are almost all modeled in Solidworks, the fuel tanks and engine have been spec'ed, the structural frame has undergone some vibrational analysis and the crew cabin is starting to take serious shape. While I'm running on minimal amounts of sleep at the moment, I feel confident that we can hammer this out by the end of the semester. I'm looking forward to finishing up the design!
