The structure of our experiment has arrived!! Thanks to @BoschRexroth for sponsoring these components!

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

Before/After machining our first part. We want to thank @IMSSoftware for supporting our project by providing the post processor for our CAM software. It worked like a charm!

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

Great news! This morning saw the arrival of the most important part of the experiment-- the telescope! With this, testing the optics train can begin soon

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

Good luck to our friends in REXUS for today's launch!

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

Procurement has begun, and the first delivery of components has arrived!

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

The sun sets on an amazing week with extraordinary teachers, mentors and peers. We're so thrilled to be a part of the @REXUSBEXUS program, and can't wait to see BEXUS 28/29 experiments develop from cardboard to components, and to be together again for the campaign.

Under veckan har cirka 70 studenter från olika länder runt om i Europa deltagit i den årliga @REXUSBEXUS Training Week. https://t.co/6hLihhSe1Z

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

Tonight the team celebrated a long, successful week of lectures, seminars, and the dreaded PDR. Thanks so much to @DLR_de @REXUSBEXUS for having us and teaching us so much!

[IRISC - BEXUS @IRISCBEXUS]

Today featured a guided tour of the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics during the day, and a little bit of inter-team collaboration and cooperation over dinner #R2C2BEXUS #SHADEBEXUS

[REXUSBEXUS @REXUSBEXUS]

It's Student Training Week! 16 teams from all over Europe have their PDR for REXUS 27/28 and BEXUS 28/29 and follow several lectures at @DLR_de Oberpfaffenhofen. 🚀🎈
