The 14 in the brooder at the moment

1 more in the incubator out, two more who I’ve seen their faces, and probably half a dozen pipped. Day 27…

Volume on!! Someone is alive and escaping… actually almost everyone is, these ducks and geese are emerging on day 26 which is 2 days early!!! So far one goose egg pipped, half a dozen or more duck eggs.

We believe we were involved in that mess, swinging wildly and striking either the other sat or the carrier rocket at least once. This split our fuselage and allowed a battery to eject. All components came down together, incredibly. The comanifest on the double decker lost their chute.

The analysis shows that the cause of the power loss was a battery retention issue caused by collision with another object during deployment. We flew on a novel “double decker” which put our can right in front of another one, which was found to have tangled with the carrier rocket shock line.

No data was transmitted or stored during the flight, but the image files and subsequent flight state analysis show that the can likely switched from state 0 to state 1, and state 1 to state 2. Our acceleration thresholds and state change logic worked.

Completely neglected to inform the Skitter of the flight outcome!!

We received telemetry while on the pad, lost lock on the way up, and then silence. Based on the presence of corrupt image files we believe that the can was powered through ascent, but lost it at deployment from the carrier rocket.

GPS remains inop. Lots of ground support equipment coming with.

Rangefinder is functional. Essential flight systems are go for launch at L-4 days. Hardware and software supporting critical systems are tested working with only GPS remaining inoperative.

This Cansat will work!!!! Hopefully. Livestream on April 26th…

Forgor to mention there’s like 40 new birds on my table cooking… don’t expect all to be fertilized but might as well try for some new geese and cool duck combos

If it looks like I’m particularly awkward it’s because I looked up from my phone and immediately got clipped by Avni

Charlie Angus was cool to see. Amazing to be among a group of engaged and enthusiastic folks and a gifted lot of candidates.

Jasper today… a ton of signs in the ground and progress made. E-29 days, lots of fun.

In Jasper again tomorrow and then back to Hinton to campaign on home turf.

Red bus is running again, new head gasket installed

Haven’t Nightingale posted in a while… precursor Cansat will be flying on April 26th as part of the CSDC. The Milk-V Duo flying on the Cansat will be doing a horizon tracking demo, and there will be a custom reaction wheel onboard to control roll rates during descent.

Take it out again I need it now
