SETH at DLR Bonn

On Monday, November 25th 2024, SETH presented their experiment proposal to an international board of experts who will decide if we are chosen for BEXUS cycle 16.

We believe the presentation went well, as the ensuing discussion featured mostly content related questions and no critical remarks that showed scepticisim by the board.

We also had the opportunity to hear the proposals of all other REXUS and BEXUS candidates and wish everyone the best of luck and hope they will be accepted.

The decision which experiments will receive DLR support and are accepted for the BEXUS mission will be published until the 18th of december when the invites for the preliminary design review, as well as the student training week are sent out.

CHAOS in Esrange

On friday the first members of team CHAOS arrived at Esrange Space Center. After getting security badges and a light dinner, everyone went to sleep excited for the first day!

Many tests were planned for the weekend which required us to mount CHAOS to the gondola and test the E-Link system with which we shall communicate during flight. CHAOS passed all individual tests with flying colors which meant we had some free time on sunday morning to go dor a short hike with the whole team.

We are now excited to see the results of todays interference test where the compatibility of all experiments on the gondola running at the same time is checked.

First meterological reports show a possible launch window on wednesday with ground winds at 1 m/s SW and higher altitude winds at 5 m/s SW.
