Space-Fish team

We are still alive! … and working!

So many things have been changed since the first experiments… the roster has grown, now we have a stable facility where to fly everyday as we want.. and many problems have been arisen, forcing us to reschedule  our project.  Fortunately, everything is going in the right way.

A parachute system is being redesigned based upon an “harpoon system”, the mother-ship design for Space-Fish deployment here in Madrid is done and we have started to build it , and Héctor is getting an official license to fly!

This project is growing in complexity, and we want to be very careful to handle it rightly, step by step, learning from the small fails (a crash is nothing for us now! xD) to face the great challenge of the Space-Fish.

Here there is a photo from today:

Juan Carlos: Our model airplane making  expert, he is really helping us with the mother-ship and tuning the Space-Fish.

Prof. José María: Our professor,  really thanks for giving us the opportunity of making the project real.

Fernando:  Yes, he has code inside the Linux Kernel… like everybody of course xD.

Héctor: Just imagine it, but he has just created it made of chewing gum one minute before.

Enrique: Etiquette researcher, actually Kalman is his apprentice .

And we don’t forget our foreign roster, Koni and his brainstorming, and Kamil! actually we hope to present to the community our autopilot in Poland in our first UAV contest this September
