The new parachute
After three years of preparations, we're finally heading for the Nordic CanSat competition! We're all very excited and hope that all our electronics and recovery system will work properly. The last few days have been full of preparations.
Yesterday we realised that our new parachute design, which is supposed to be more durable that the older one, is a bit too small. Due to that, we had to sew a new one that we've unfortunately not been able to test by now. We've also had some struggles with our most interesting component, the Muon detector.
Right now we're on the train to Vaasa, practicing for our short presentation and possible questions from the jury. Arriving to Vaasa at ten past nine!!! :)
