HICO-data is level 1B, they might have level 1a - but most likely not level 0
Ocean Virtual Laboratory might have level 1a becuase you can go back to level 0 and up to level 1b

Evelyn and Joao had a chat last week
Operational data (time-sensitive) vs. scientific data (not as time-sensitive)
If we do a scan, and do some processing (might even be lossy) - and downlink it quickly so that the UAV/USV may go explore. The operational data needs to be good enough to make a decision. Actionable data.
But the not time-sensitive lossless scientific raw data is downlinked in later orbits (level 1a or level 0)
Do we have enough memory to choose which raw data from orbits within a timespan do downlink?
Video compression techniques - write a journal paper! Change time to wavelength

Find scientists and fly a drone with them

Hardware
PCBs into production next week
Documentation:
Confluence for now
Fred says that we can copy it for internal use
Software
Power estimation:
ARM-processing system + core. Still working on it to provide estimation with the Xilinq tool
There will be a meeting later today
Mission Design
10AM-orbit: Cover Trondheim. RAAN of 83 degrees - sun-synchronous orbit
Worst-case
10 phases
Power budget shows that it is difficult to downlink data all orbits
Sun is always behind you
10PM-orbit: Cover the whole coast of Norway.
Not easy to find launchers
Power 3U
Maximum solar power: TBD - we assume 10W?
Battery: 2600mAh
Difficult to find the actual power provided by the solar panels
We do not want a mid-day orbit
Communication
Gara has updated the link budget using different assumptions/ground stations - see gdrive
