Get in touch through 7 | [our Slack](https://hackclub.com/slack) or [email](mailto:moonbeam-aaaaeyno5c2ppm6gn2xw3cq3ve@hackclub.slack.com). 8 | 9 | An [open source project](https://github.com/hackclub/moonbeam) by [Hack Clubbers](https://hackclub.com). 10 | 11 | ## See Also 12 | 13 | - [hackclub/moonbeam-site](https://github.com/hackclub/moonbeam-site/) 14 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /meetings/2021 - december/19th.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # 19th of December 2 | 3 | Recording of meeting: [https://youtu.be/uc9JY7YIkAg](https://youtu.be/uc9JY7YIkAg) 4 | 5 | ## tl;dr 6 | 7 | - Research over the next 2 weeks. 8 | - Laser or radio is still up to debate. 9 | - Contacting possible advisors and youtubers. 10 | - Meetings can occur over the next two weeks but there won't be any official ones. If a meeting occurs there should be a meeting note for it here. 11 | 12 | ## Hardware 13 | 14 | - Laser or radio? 15 | - Problems with laser: 16 | - Cost of the system. 17 | - Can we even send that much data through the atmosphere using a laser? 18 | - Amount of power needed to charge the laser. 19 | - Problems with radio: 20 | - Would a youtuber still be willing to work with us if we used radio? 21 | - How much of a feat is it just to send some radio waves to the moon? 22 | - What frequency should we use for the laser/radio system. 23 | - Research needs to be done over the next 2 weeks to figure out exactly what hardware we would need for this and if it is even possible. 24 | - What if we used a prebuilt laser at an observatory? In that case, we would just be building the encoding system. This calls into question again if a youtuber would be willing to make a video about something prebuilt. 25 | - Claire might be able to contact someone from her school about using a telescope there. 26 | - If we do go with radio we should turn off the sender when trying to receive back the wave to prevent interference. 27 | - Do we need a laser/radio operating license? 28 | 29 | ## Software 30 | 31 | - How much data are we planning to send? We can send way more with radio than with the laser system. 32 | - Landing page should be done over the next 2 weeks. 33 | - Landing page should be generic enough so we can switch from laser to radio if needed. There shouldn't be too much content on the site. 34 | - No other developments have been made software-wise. The whole team agrees that this should be the easy part of the project. 35 | 36 | ## Communications 37 | 38 | - Communication will be done over slack channels. 39 | - Meetings can occur over the next two weeks but there won't be any official ones. If a meeting occurs there should be a meeting note for it here. 40 | - Emailed a few people over the last week: 41 | - Ishan sent out email to [Mark Rober](https://www.youtube.com/c/MarkRober). 42 | - Maggie is going to send out email to [Xyla Foxlin](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEn3fRj2e0mpqYsijxnzayg). 43 | - Emailing some professors or possible advisors over the next two weeks would be ideal. 44 | - We might need to talk to the FCC about using a laser or radio system. 45 | 46 | ## Other 47 | 48 | - Things are going to be kinda slow over the next two weeks as staff is going to be on vacation. 49 | - Lynz is going to be working at HQ on this full-time after the new year. 50 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /meetings/README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Meeting Notes 2 | 3 | Here are the meeting notes for our meetings stored in markdown. 4 | 5 | ## Adding a new note 6 | 7 | Looking to add a new note?
