[edit] CAPE-1 Audio Recordings
There are several audio recordings of CAPE-1 in the web directory http://ulcape.org/cape1_telemetry
Each audio file has a corresponding text file with the decoded CW (morse code) beacon. Anyone who knows morse code and is good with an audio editing program is free to download some of the files with missing decodings. Emails containing the decoded telemetry and the name of the audio file can be sent to jonathan at jonathanwagner.net

[edit] Team Members
Our team members are a diligent group of graduate and undergraduate students who have climbed the learning curve required to take on a project of such complex scale as a picosatellite. These members are highly dedicated to their work on the satellite.
