  1. For the AOA Team we are currently deciding where to put our Light Sensors, Touch Sensors, and Ultrasonic Sensors. We think we will put two Touch Sensors on the front as well as the back, and then a Ultrasonic on the front and back. The Light Sensor will most likely be in the front on the right side.

  2. The CorNav team is currently working on ways to set up the light sensor so that it will follow Curiosity's path. We are sketching ideas and building them. -E. Peterson, CorNav

  3. For the EDL team we are currently trying to decide which enclosure we would like to use for our rover. We are going to choose either the "air bag" or the "skycrane". I would like to use the "air bag" enclosure because I believe it would work better than the skycrane.

  5. For the CorNav team we are researching paths of The Curiosity Rover to figure out and gain more knowledge for our Mars Rover. We are starting to get the idea of what we are going to plan for the Rover course.

  6. The technitions on the VCom have been brainstorming ideas on how we want to build our ipod mounts. So, we have been using the legos to make up ideas for the ipod mounts. But, we have to make the mount horizantal so it stays better on the rover.

  8. For the MFO team we are working on were we should put the magnetic sensor. The magnetic sensor is a part on the rover that will detect the Mars's magnetic field and orient itself north.

  10. The EDL team is looking at the surface of Mars to make sure it will be safe to land. As a scientist, I was looking for gysers or any other obsticals in the way of the landing.

  11. On the MFO team, we are currently working on a way to keep the Magnetic Sensor far enough away from the CPU so the magnets in the CPU don't affect the Magnetic Sensor's capability to orient the Rover North. K. Hernandez
