-4 to CDR

Just 4 days to the CDR.
The time schedule has been pretty tight, but it seems that we have done more than we expected. In the last week we got the dynamic simulator working. The mechanical design team has almost finished the 3D modelling. The end-effector has been completely re-designed. The computer specialists are still trying to cope with a serious bandwidth issue, but a lot of working code has already been written.

Now we are supposed to bring all the work together and prepare the presentations for the CDR. Yeah, we are probably going to spend the next nights doing that.

See you in Noordwijk,

the pESApod team

PS: Uh, we still did not publicly disclose what actually pESApod stands for. Maybe at next update.
