A Busy Week for the RUCOOL Grad Student Field Team
Over the last week, our graduate students got some hands on field work in the mid-Atlantic. On October 25th, Jackie Veatch, Joe Anarumo and Julia Engdahl deployed RU28 for its…
This is the circuitboard that operates the glider and runs the programs the scientists send it. It's basically a computer without the plastic case, keyboard, or monitor. Eli spotted a suspicious bubble of liquid next to the tiny transparent jar in the center of the upper board. This is the attitude sensor, which tells whether the glider is tilted side to side or front to back. Dr. Kohut is looking at it a bit more closely to see if it's the cause of the problem.
