Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Sponsor have already order some parts for the project, however, the sponsor cannot reassign our budgets, thus, there is a conflict between what the promised budget and ouractual budget.
However it is still possible to obtain equipment needed for the project, however our sponsor must order them. This place more time constrain on our part.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Finding the pressure difference between the CL system and the ambient to solve the possible air flowing into the CL system issue. To solve this problem, we are going to run simple test. We plan to seal a tank and run the pump to increase the pressure within the tank and try to recreate the scenario that lead possible air flowing into the CL system.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Design presentation, Daniel, Healy. Make a twist lock for the dome’s shield when the shield need to be placed on the dome. The lock would make the shield easily detached.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Since our sponsor cannot raise our budget, yet he is willing to purchase for us, this placed the team on a greater time constrain and limitation on the possibility of redesigning the whole project.

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
963 were used for purchase this week, we have 37 remaining, however the sponsor potentially could purchase another 5000 dollars of material if whatever asking is reasonable and constructive for the project.
