​
The following weeks will be very interesting, as the Launch Campaign is scheduled to begin on October 13th.

The work load is high at this point, but that does not mean our spirits are low! The excitement of the impending launch campaign means some team members, Like François here, are constantly smiling.

This week the Optics Department has been sent to Luleå, where they will calibrate our optical equipment with the help of lasers!
THE Sensor Boxes
The two sensor boxes are where all the photodiodes are located. These are currently being assembled while undergoing some final tests.

The Brain Box contains the data storage and all related electronics. It is now in the process of being properly insulated.
