Monthly Status Reports: A status report from the student team lead will be due on the last day of the month from January through November. This is a brief report, no longer than one or two pages, that describes for the month 1) activities of the team members, 2) issues encountered during payload design / development, 3) milestones achieved and 4) current team members and leaders. The report should be e-mailed to
guzik@phunds.phys.lsu.edu and can be in either MS Word 2003 or PDF format. These reports are due on the last Friday of every month.
Monthly Teleconference Meetings: A “meet-me” teleconference will be held each month from February through December. At least the Faculty Advisor and Team Leader should be present at the teleconference, but we encourage all team members to participate. The teleconferences will be held on the first Friday of every month at 10:00 am (central time) [11 am eastern, 9 am mountain, 8 am pacific]. To participate dial in to 1-866-717-2684 prior to the conference time. When requested enter the Conference ID number 6879021 followed by the # key.
