The team has been working diligently to integrate all the electronic components for Sagan, our lunar rover. This will be the 4th prototype and most of the components will already be flight like for the mission. Once this prototype is complete, the intention is the run a full simulation of the mission requirements as stated by the Google Lunar X PRIZE.
Lara Coy is working on the motor controller today using LabVIEW as seen in both pictures.
On another note, Eric and Matt have been working diligently on the orbital mechanics of the mission to confirm previous simulations done with STK Astrogator. After many hours of work, Eric drew a picture during one of his breaks (seen below). We've got to have some fun!
