Exciting news this week! Northrop Grumman has been kind enough to invite the members of team MATR including faculty sponsor Dr. Eric Schwartz to visit their site in Melbourne, FL. The team is grateful for the invitation and looking forward to the opportunity to get a deeper look in to the company sponsoring their IPPD project. Communications with Northrop Grumman liaisons are ongoing, to set up a date and get a full plan in place for the visit. In terms of progress this week, electrical and computer engineers made progress on microcontroller programming and system integration, and have begun outlining a PCB design. Meanwhile, the mechanical engineering team is moving on to the next iteration of enclosure manufacturing, considering ways to improve the 3D-printed mold casting of the electronics enclosure for the sensor package.
