On Wednesday we had many visitors in the elab, whom we explained our projects to. We had visitors form France and Seattle. Both groups were fascinated to hear about the NASA sponsored projects and the other projects such as Juan's drone project:
In addition, I became familiar with sequel. Sequel is basically the data shelf in your basement that not many people ever look at but that is essential. I was surprised to learn that I could not only store, categorize and find data through sequel, but that I could also alter data. This is not only helpful when you want to bump up your grades (a la Ferris Bueller :) ), but it can also be used as a way of erasing data that is flawed. For example: If one of the sensors at the Mars Habitat were broken and was recording incorrect data that is way out of the normal range, it can set the graph to an enlarged scale, which makes it hard to read the data. When the incorrect data is deleted, the graph will return to its optimal scale. The following screenshot shows that sequel looks like when accessing data that we graph on the EMC webpage:
