Thursday was
our last day working on our project. We started off the morning finishing up
our prototypes and started working on our PowerPoint presentation. We did a run
through presentation to the Pennsylvania State University Supervisors and some
managers of the FABLAB. We received good feedbacks and constructive criticism on
things we can adjust for the final and closing presentation.
In the
afternoon we were headed to Jicamarca. It is a radio observatory located one
and half hours outside of Lima, Peru. Jicamarca’s
main antenna is the largest of all the incoherent scatter radars in the
world. The observatory is a facility of the
Instituto Geofísico del Perú and is used to do research in meteor physics and
study of ionosphere. We were able to tour the observatory and meet some of the researchers.
Finally we had a friendly soccer match with students
from Pennsylvania State University and Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería at Jicamarca’s soccer field before
we headed back to our houses.
