This week was all about laying the groundwork for a successful project. We kicked things off by outlining our project and creating a roadmap with a GANTT chart. This visual guide will be an aid in keeping us on track and prepared for major milestones like the Systems Level Design Review (SLDR).

We spent time refining our Product Design and Specifications (PDS) document with valuable input from Dr.Stubbs. This meant we went back to the drawing board to better understand and rank our requirements, which led to a great brainstorming session for new concepts.

A major highlight was our meeting with the liaison engineers. To prepare, we finalized our PDS, began working on our Product Design Report (PDR), and compiled a list of questions that arose throughout the week. The meeting was incredibly informative; it clarified expectations and provided a clear sense of direction for our project.

As we look to next week, we’re excited to finalize our draft PDR, gather more technical details, and schedule a site visit!
