>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>-Randy Dormans has kindly agreed to fabricate a replacement motor
>casing for the one that suffered a burn-through during the test firing
>of the K-motor with 4 DD slot grains. Randy will also fabricate a
>second casing to hold six propellant grains.

>-A regular avionics telecon was held this past Sunday. Participants
>were Chris King, Hans Olaf Toft, Mattias Lampe, and Richard Nakka.
>Hans reported that he’d determined that a new compiler can be used to
>compile modified code for the Telemetrum flight computer. This was an
>important development, as the current compiler was unable to compile
>revised code due to code size limitations. Richard reported that

>results. Mattias may take on the challenge of developing a controller
>for the flight version of the de-spin system. The next telecon will be

>- Vicente Alvero has performed further testing of the prototype Pyro
>Separation Device (PSD), this time with successful operation of the
>device which resulted in clean separation of the spring-loaded
>simulated coupler and airframe. A stiffer spring has been ordered and
>will be used to do final verification testing of the prototype under
>greater preload.

>-Ed Brown, an SS2S Bronze Donor, has kindly offered to donate a
>two-channel “TC Logger USB” data acquisition unit (www.TCLogger.com).
>This simple to use unit should well suit our needs for collection of
>motor thrust and chamber pressure. On behalf of the SS2S team, thanks
>so much, Ed.

>-Alex Canela (http://www.rctotal.com/), who has performed volunteer
>machining services for SS2S recently, has kindly volunteered to
>compose the webpage for the upcoming Tool Raffle fund-raising drive.
>This raffle will have four prize lots of miscellaneous European-made
>hand tools (all brand-new and donated by EGAMaster).

>-As previously reported, SKF Spain (http://www.skf.com/es/index.html )
>has donated a set of “lip ring” seals valued at approximately 850 € .
>These are required for the propellant melting system under development
>by Pol Clauwaert in Belgium, under direction of Antoon Vyverman. This
>donation was arranged by Vicente Alvero, who had recently received the
>seals and has sent them to Pol. Well done, once again, Vicente.
