With a roadmap and a clearer system architecture, we are now performing final checks for launch! This week we have laid the groundwork for the project by finalizing our preliminary system architecture and defining specific inputs and outputs for each module under development. With these defined, we were able to ideate initial GitLab issues to “close the loop” and begin coding. With the developing Preliminary Design Review presentation and a structured understanding of what is desired from the Orbiteers, we are nearing readiness for development of the project. Our team has ironed out the details for our trip down to MRSL in a few weeks. Our meeting with MRSL this week further enlightened us on various of these topics and they have given us the go-ahead to start working on the project soon!

Looking forward, we are excited to practice our PDR presentation with our IPPD peers next week and applying all feedback from that to our official presentation two weeks from now! With coding issues under development, great things are soon to follow!
