Printing, testing, writing...

The last few days, there have been a lot of work, for all of us to do. The competition in Vaasa is getting closer and we're thrilled about sending up our CanSat! But before we leave for Vaasa next Saturday we have quite some things that need to get done.

First of all Vivi is working on our prelaunch report. The deadline is one Monday and until then the 15 pages have to be filled up with text, proofread and grammar corrected. At the same time I (Tove), Alicia, Sofia and Anna are working on our parachute; calculating and sewing to get our CanSat to fall between 8 and 11 m/s. Yesterday we made some tests, and the parachute seems to work well, apart from the fact that our CanSat might fall a bit too slow. Therefore, Anna is sewing a new, smaller, one, that we'll hopefully be able to test before the prelaunch report has to be ready.

At the same time as we're trying to get our prelaunch report ready and sewing some parachutes, Alicia is working full time on updating our Instagram @wecansat more regularly. Apart from that Sofia is preparing our 5-minute presentation for Vaasa and I'm designing our flyers. Last but not least we're struggling a bit with our 3D-printing file. We had asked if we could come to our school today (Saturday) to print the last parts, but yesterday it showed out that there are some issuse with the file that need to be sorted out, before we can print anything more.

Hopefully we'll get everything done the coming week. We're so eager on getting to Vaasa and hope all the hard (and fun) work will pay out!
