Today in ISR, Angelina, Sneha, and I calendared out the Ames project. Here is our plan:

• By January 14th: Introduction
• Sneha: 3D Model & Executive Summary
• Angelina: About the Authors
• Sameer: Mission Statement
• Brianna: Table of Contents & Executive Summary
• By January 21st: Section 2 and 3
• Sneha and Sameer: Location
• Brianna and Angelina: Structural Design
• By January 28th: Section 4 and 5
• Angelina and Brianna: Operations
• Sneha and Sameer: Human Factors
• By January 31st: Section 6 and Final Summary
• By February 10th: Final Draft and Application Forms Submitted and in the Mail

We also need to make sure that this project is really unique and special so we have a lot of other extra information we want to add in. Here are some of our ideas (all of which need to be done by Jan 31st):

• Hydroponics Project with Extensive Write-up and Pictures (Sameer)
• HI-SEAs Project/ Algorithms / Results (Brianna, Angelina, and Sneha)
• HAM Radio (Sneha)
• Quantum Communications and Research (Brianna)
• Survey of the Most Desired Type of Government (All of Us)

I also emailed Mary-Beth discussing internship opportunities at CFHT, and she asked for my resume. I don’t really have one officially typed out so that is something I am working on right away.

Finally, I reached out to some of my particle physics and engineering contacts. I sent them my ideas on the muon detector and asked for any of their ideas on how to improve and modify the design, particularly for what I am wanting to attempt to do with it. Here is a list of people I reached out to:

• Dr. Don Lincoln (Fermilab)
• Siyuan Sun (Atlas, CERN)
• Manuel Olmedo (CMS, CERN)
• Sarah Charley (CERN)
• Dr. Amanda Yoho (PhD in Astrophysics)
• Margot Tayler (One of the most awesome people ever!!! Also physics major from MIT)

I might also try to email some of my new contacts from the International MoonBase Summit and some of my old contacts from JPL.
