Risks and Areas of Concern
Testing the vibration of the cradle without a properly working LDV machine
We have yet to be given the optical fiber or told whether we will be fitting it into the cradle or if the sponsor will be responsible for that.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
All information has been obtained and as for resources not yet acquired, we know where to get them
Schedule
Assembly of the cradle will be completed early next week so that we can test it on Wednesday morning
Progress on Report and Webpage
Rough Draft of Report is being re-edited and will be posted on the webpage
