This week, the team decided to mix things up a bit and focus on some new tasks. One team was focused on how to release the GEM from the rocket. The team is focusing on using a parachute to pull the GEM away from the rocket body, and then use a clamp to release the parachute cord upon landing so that the GEM can begin it's excursion. The other team was focusing on making the electronics of the rocket accessible. In years past, the electronics bay has been inserted in the rocket and sealed using epoxy. This year, the team would like to make the electronics bay accessible just in case anything malfunctions. The current design is to place the electronics bay right below the nose cone in a dedicated bulk head.
