Mikaela is completing her revision of the cut down system. She is adding an LCD interface and a keypad. These improvements will allow us to input exact times for the cut-down, perform cut test, monitor wire usage, and battery status.   A big improvement from the previous version. Also a three position key switch will be used to control power on/off, and keypad lock. 

Helen's project will be to create a live video feed from the balloon to the bus. We have ordered the materials and are excited about the project. The video camera is about an inch cube in size and is connected to a transmitter that is about 2 inches by 1 inch by 1/4 inch. The frequency is 2.3 GHz. The receiver will be hooked up to a screen on board the bus. The signal will also be routed to a video recorder.

Kenny will be testing electronic equipment in near space conditions. He'll be sending up a cell phone. His hypothosis is the LCD screen will break due to pressur
