Week 39 - Final Blog

This week I have finished my first draft of the report, and I'm now starting to put together the appendices. That means that this will be my last blog, as I need to include it in the appendix.

The report is around 13,000 words long, and I'm quite pleased with that. I'm going to get some feedback and polish it up a bit before the final hand in on May 2nd.

The last thing I need to do is a short presentation on the project. That's going to take place on Wednesday, and will be followed by a demonstration of the program.

Thanks for reading!

Week 29 - Report.6

This week I have broken the 10,000 word barrier!

Since the previous week, I have completed the Requirements Analysis and Design sections of the report. I've still to do the Intro, Testing, Conclusions and Reflections sections, as well at the rest of the appendices.

I'll also need to start working on my presentation soon, that's due to be given in around two weeks time.

Thats all for this week.

Week 28 - Report.5

Quite a bit of progress on the report writing this week - I have finished the implementation section, and the word count is standing at ~ 7700 words, not including the appendix.

I say that because, on Robs advice, I have created another appendix section for tables and calculations. I have moved the orbital calculation steps which were in the research section, into the appendix, to improve the reading of the report. I've also included the table of orbital elements that I used in this appendix.

Aside from that, I cleaned up a bit of the implementation discussion that was going a bit too in depth, so I think its reading quite well at the moment.

No meeting this week as it's our holiday week, so I'm aiming to have the requirements analysis, and design sections completed by the next meeting.
