We chose Xinabox to supply the components to build our satellite. We purchased the XK07 kit and Environmental sensors. The engineering included configuring the components for the ground and flight station.

We met with our mentors at Xinabox, Bjarke Godfredson and Judi Sandrock, over Zoom. They provided guidance on how to troubleshoot communication between the ground station and flight station and how to get the sensors to initialize and respond.

We ran into some difficulty as the school's wifi would not support our device so we had to use a hotspot for testing.
