From 15th to 17th May 2024, we went to ESTEC (European Space Research and Technology Centre) in Noordwijk, Netherlands. There we had our CDR (Critical Design Review). Again, we presented progress we made on our experiment to the review board, which was made up of experts from DLR, ESA, ZARM and SSC. Even though the board had some useful comments and tips for us, we passed the review, and our experiment design was accepted. Now, we can focus all our efforts on integrating the CHAOS instrument. The next milestone will be the IPR (Integration Progress Review) at the end of July. Two experts from ZARM will visit us in Kiel and inspect the integration process.
Although it was an exhausting couple of days, we had a lot of fun in the Netherlands and used the time to explore the cities of Leiden and Amsterdam. Stay tuned for more information on CHAOS!
