Proposal and Requirement Capture Report
Requirements Capture Report April 2008
In the months of Jan to April we tried to do a brief Requirement Capture Study for the proposed Payload of TEC and Thermopiles. A lot of data was collected and formal reviews were held for the Sub-Systems. Finally, it was suggested by the reviewing panels that we should go ahead with just 1 payload, namely the TEC. All the data and the review comments have been documented in the Requirements Capture Report.
Minutes of meeting at ISAC Bangalore (February 2008)
This was a system wide review held at ISAC Banglore in Feb 08. The proposal of the satellite was discussed with Dr. Raghavmurthy and other system engineers.
