Send email to Erik Stromberg and possibly the VP of Astra

In case we don't get a response from our massive email rollout, these will help us get a response

Same reasoning as merit review, NASA likes a qualified panel a lot so we need to start searching and emailing.

2-20 MHz chirp range for ionosonde soundings (if I remember correctly)
We will likely get nitinol from the company with whose CEO we spoke at Smallsat - he will likely get us thousands of dollars in nitinol for only a few dollars
Figuring out the properties of nitinol in relation to the antenna
Designing the antenna for the Cubesat - look at tuna can deployment

Ezra and Michio

JJ needs to write emails to these companies with more info that they're asking for

James is working on optimizing the website by decreasing load times and cleaning code.

Write an equivalent of the ionosphere-rt ray-tracer in Rust so that we can have actual documentation and stuff - with it, we can fit correlation between RF and optical instrument and also get sample data for an autoencoder if we do that

Modifying email templates to the businesses to be more consistent and concise.

Compile a list of our sponsors then send them to programming team to put on the website

I am studying how we plan to correlate the data in order to be able to be sure that the optical instrument will give us the correct data.

They both offered antennas, and RUAG offered a computer potentially

Prepare for the next wave of follow-ups that needs to be sent out

The merit review is required for the CSLI, and the more qualified the panel, the more NASA likes it. Finding qualified reviewers should be a top priority, especially because the advice they give will be beneficial to the success of the satellite, not only the proposal.

Use Astra ionospheric particle simulation to calculate torque on the cubesat for our ADCS to keep us pointed in the correct direction for pointing requirements

Prompt Daniel on what to say to RUAG space and RYNAD to ensure funding and discounted stuff

Daniel needs to talk to Andrew and Optical to find out more information that these companies are asking for

Change the data downlinked from a full, uncompressed spectrogram to something more manageable. Do this with either an autoencoder or more signal processing techniques.

Get preferred pricing on testing, a free antenna, and free major tom software. need to send all these companies details on our mission to get them to send us stuff.

Try to get them to support us again for next year when we submit for CSLI, also be prepared with AT LEAST a month in advance

Lossless Compression
Avoid sending down an entire spectrogram
We need this fixed because right now, the plan is to send down entire spectrograms - they are gigabytes in size.

34 Emails that need to be sent out to businesses; as we have no business team except for Daniel, Jeremy and Jaxon will assist in the process.

We are late by 4 days on making the followup emails
