Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Met with sponsor to discuss the objective of the design project
Identified major components of the project that need to be designed and analyzed
In the process of determining which component will be analyzed with the risk reduction test and coming up with a design for the risk reduction test
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Had first meeting with sponsor

Risks and Areas of Concern
biofouling: the presence of biofouling in the ocean may play a large part in introducing complications into the design and there does not seem to be an easy way to test the design under biofouling conditions within a reasonable amount of time
cost: the cost of certain systems such as the acoustic commanded release and the burn wire systems may be too expensive for the project so we will have to investigate alternative solutions that perform similar functions to those two systems
