We just submitted! It has been a fantastic journey. We completed many of our objectives, exceeded on some and fell short in some other. The balance is extremely positive! Thanks to the Space Apps 2020 team for your support!

This is turning into something really good! Already completed 90% of our basic goals and more than 50% of our self-defined bonus points. We have a network! Still one issue to resolve, which according to our estimations will have us wait until last minute...~8 hours to go.

Well into the system integration and validation, validation and bonus points (extra things we wanted to work on and now finding some time to do it). Thankful of @katelyn_hertel for providing good advice on how to write the project page. ~12 hours to go.

Our European Operations (Alberto) closed for the day to sleep and recharge batteries after making great progress on the network portion of our project. The Americas crew continue to work on progressing on the other fronts. Things are starting to plug together and some initial challenges have been resolved considering the solution must be operational tomorrow. It has been an exciting and non-stop learning journey so far. So much to learn...and do!

We just completed our second team standup (we've had multiple 1:1 and 2:1)! Making good progress on specifying and connecting front end functions, making progress in the backend network functions while working on UI design concepts as well as other less technical things such as learning more about the submission and curating information! Keep going!
