I did not go to the Conférence à l’École de l’Air et de l’Espace: stratégie spatiale de Défense on wednesday

Tasks performed

  • Progress in the Coursera course Fundamentals of Network Communication from the University of Colorado
  • Structure tasks for the SupaeroMoon Power + Motors team
  • Keep up french learning
  • Progress on the Research project

Tasks partially performed

  • Study for Human Factors exam High Priority
  • Electrical components list for the ERC for each subteam
  • Apply for summer school High Priority

Tasks not performed

  • Progress in SupaeroMoon Comms + Ground station team documentation
  • CV review at the Career Center

Week drawbacks

No major drawbacks. Human Factors study could have been better, but time was not wasted per say. SupaeroMoon communications team has been hard to support with lack of time.

Week upsides

Waiting for recommendation letter to apply for summer school. New member in SupaeroMoon Power team, with electrical engineering as bachelor background. Got an interview scheduled for an MSBA program. Company contacted me to support on AI model development. Started Robotics in Space course, co-funded by the European-Union.
