Re-evaluation of the financial needs for the spring semester with the MAKE comitee

Development of the Software part and studying the Hardware needs

• The first semester of this project is going to consist mainly of data gathering, simulation and hardware needs estimations for the telescope that will be built during the spring semester
• Travelling to different observatories to get some on site exxperience and gather more data

First recruitment sessions

• Finding enthoustastic students willing to contribute to the project

Aproval of the project by the MAKE comitee.

Filling up for the MAKE fund.

• Constitution of the first team composed mainly of students from the physics section
• Getting support from different EPFL laboratories in Basic sciences and Computer Science
