Hi all,
At http://www.delfic3.nl/photoblog/ more descriptive information can be found about the current proceedings of the Delfi-C3 launch team. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited at the Sriharikota launch base, so we cannot show you any pictures of the clean rooms over there.
All Delfi-C3 tests are successful at the moment, so everything looks good!
For those who can't get enough information about this excellent project, or those who just like high-res pictures of the construction of satellites, there is a ppt slideshow at http://www.delfic3.nl/forum/showthread.php?t=873
Until I saw the last slide, I didn't know what satellites were truly built of.
That slideshow shows the telemetry capture software in operation (named 'RASCAL'?). Is there anywhere we can download this? It seems to be based in the Warbler demodulator, so we could use that to check out our computers and soundcards, I suppose.
Less than two weeks to go, with any luck
