A WEATHER PROBE

Hello!

Okay, now I'm going to tell you more about the project itself. As I told you before, me, Emil, Teddy and Josefin are doing a CanSat-project for ESA. We're suppose to build a sort of "satellite" with the help of a kit in the form of a soda can. Every team think of their satellite and what use it will be for.

So we thought and thought, and we wrote down all of our ideas, and then we picked out the best one. Since the satellite is very (small, like a coke can), we thought of something small that could do most use. Something that's really important today, something with weather. And then, YES A WEATHER-PROBE! So we want to send up a weather-probe. So our goal is first to make the probe land safely, then to collect data as long as possible and to send the data to a receiver on the ground. It will also have an internal memory for saving data which cannot be sent if no connection can be made between the probe and receiver.

So in short, we want create a small, functional weather-probe, which will easy to deploy. It can for example be useful when searching for a suitable landing place etc. We will also think of a suitable way of sending data from this probe to a receiver.

Well, tomorrow 9 a.m we're suppose to hand in our project.

So wish us good luck!

About us

Hello again!

Well, yesterday we or actually I didn't have the time to write. So I'm going to do that now.

Before I tell you about our project, I'm just going to introduce you to my coworkers.

But to start with, I'm going to tell you about myself. My name is Mimma Bakkali, and I'm (as you can see) the blogger. I'm 16 years old and live in the north and cold city of Sweden, Kiruna. I'm (as my friends) studying at the Rymdgymnasiet, http://www.rymdgymnasiet.com, it's sort of like a high school, but we read about space and other very cool things that you usually don't read at another high school.

Then we have our team leader Emil Vejlens. He's also 16 years and he's really smart. He has already read 3 mathematics courses, while the rest of us are on the first or second course.

Teddy Wiberg is also very smart, but also very funny. He's always happy and optimistic, and he can really make us laugh when we don't feel so good.

Josefin Orrmalm is my forth and last coworker. She's actually the only one of us, who lived in Kiruna before we started at Rymdgymnasiet. The special thing with her is that is isn't just studying at Rymdgymnasiet, she's also studying at a special skiing school.

So now you know a bit about us, and later on I'm going to tell you about our special ESA CanSat-project.

Bye for now then!

The Zungoes blog is up and running!

Now we have come so far that we have started our blog where we will submit our progress in the ESA's CanSat project which we will try to participate in. More information will come in time.
