i-heliostat6/9 update Amy Whitcombe, Kendall Pletcher, Eric Kolker, Kiefer Hicks
Revised SOW Previously: Research, design, construct, and test a prototype communication system which modulates sunlight to send information over large distances—such as between the moon and the earth—in a vacuum. This system should be significantly more efficient than traditional laser communication systems. Now: Set up a working communication link which modulates sunlight to send information over large distances. Analyze the error budget of the system in order to compare with traditional laser systems.
Questions for Jeff • What exactly will you be giving us? • What is the error budget for the system? (Jeff will send this to Steve)
Progress • Decided on a PM: Eric • Met with Steve, discussed the requirements of the system. • Must focus on error analysis • Re-approached the problem with the new requirements in mind.
The Next Step • Harvey’s trip and digikey order for testing materials • Begin testing with materials to figure out transmitter • Begin work on LabVIEW code
