Tests of the first parachute prototype completed
We have sewn and tested the first prototype of our parachute. A week ago we conducted the first tests of the parachute and today we tested it again, now from a greater height. We now know how to improve the design and the next version will be significantly better and this time sewn using the proper materials which finally arrived. This one is already relatively stable but slightly too big. If you wish to see a video from the tests, click the image and it will redirect you to our team's instagram account, where videos from tests are uploaded.

Tests of the gyroscope, accelerometer barometer, and termometer
Thanks to the arrival of the missing components, we were able to test crucial components for our Primary Mission: the barometer and termometer, as well as components used in our Secondary Mission: gyroscope and accelerometer.

Arrival of many other components
Almost all of the components have now arrived, including most notably the voltage converter. This allows us to perform tests of all the components, which will be happening over the span of the next few weeks.

First succesful Raspberry Pi and camera boot-up
Some of the components we have ordered arrived, allowing us to make the first boot-up of the most simplified version of our system- the Raspberry Pi connected to a camera. These are the most important components for our mission, so it is an important milestone, allowing us to work on the next tasks.
