Student Team Meets with Collaborators to Discuss Science Objectives

The project collaborators, investigators, and design team met today to discuss the concept and scientific objectives of the mission.  This iterative process will help make sure that the design team understand the science objectives and can precisely perform requirements-flow down and design.   New motivations behind exploring the thermosphere's horizontal structure were explored and the required orbit discussed among many other subjects.  The DANDE student team thanks all involved for participating.
