  2. GENERAL NOTES 11 UCB currently students on CINEMA team. In collaboration with students at KHU, visiting students from Puerto Rico. Magnetometer from ICL Started a Seminar class devoted to CINEMA Current Mass Budget: Around 2.7 kg, harnessing and redesigns Thermal Model: Analytical at SSL, FEA from KHU, check with Solidworks Launch Provider: Still backup on NPP launch, alternatives

  3. SUBSYSTEMS • Electrical Power • Progress • Building Flight Panels • Vibration and Thermal Cycling of panels • Testing of Battery/ EPS • Issues • Clean Room facilities • Interference with torque coils • Cracked Cell during Thermal Cycle • Next Steps • Finish Flight Panels • Build High Voltage Power Supply • C & DH • Progress • Reviewing Commands • FSW • Issues • Narrow down the amount • Next Steps

  4. SUBSYSTEMS • Radio Communication • Progress • ETUs of both S-band and UHF antennas • NTIA Application • Issues • NTIA process moving slowly • Problems connecting Coaxial Cable to Whip Antenna • Next Steps • Finish NTIA Frequency Assignment • Purchase Radios/ Antennas • Redesign Whip Antenna • ACS • Progress • Torque Coils tested, new wire • Sun Sensors tested, refab of flight parts • Finishing simulation • Issues • Varying settling times in simulation • Next Steps • Integration of ACS and Flight Software • Speed up settling time • Assemble Flight Parts

  5. SUBSYSTEMS • Spacecraft Structure • Progress • ETU built, being used for harnessing, stack integration • Holes drilled into it as needed • Issues • Hard to machine • Next Steps • Slight redesign to make fabrication more precise. • STEIN (SupraThermal Electrons, Ions and Neutrals) • Progress • New detector/ ASIC • Issues • Changes caused by the new hardware • Next Steps • Addressing these

  6. SUBSYSTEMS • MAGIC (MAGnetometer from Imperial College) • Progress • Single axis ETU complete • Triple axis ETU in testing • Issues • Behind Schedule • Next Steps • Integrate with flight software • Other Components • Instrument Interface Board is being assembled. • FPGA code fully simulated, waiting to run on the board. • Harnessing done in Solidworks, working with the mockup chassis
