Katie was totally stoked! She finally got her data transmission system to transmit some data. This was a very exciting. There's also some pics of other prelaunch activities. Milo is putting together the structure. Ari is working on the GPS system.

We performed a comm test today. Both tracking transmitters acquired gps and transmitted. Initially one had a low power level from the batteries so it simply emitted clicks. We also ran the video transmitter during the test to see if any interference would occur. We did not get any interference as expected. The trackers transmit at 144.39 MHz and the video transmitter operates at 2.3 GHz.
Both microtraks are functioning properly and ready for launch. Ran the test on number 2 today.
