Short answer. I like putting things in numerical order, the long answer will be revealed in this blog (this blog will cover the events from Feb 21st to Feb 25th). This particular week was very short as not only did I have my Academic Decathlon State competition, but Jack Frost froze the roads Wednesday resulting in a Delayed showcase (see Blog 18 and 21 for further details). This particular week was one where my mentor visited from Wednesday to Friday to next Tuesday during spring break. This is also the First week on scientific Instruments for my final project and I have a few predecessors where I can look in particular, the Galileo Atmospheric probe and the Huygens Probe as both are proven successes however I realized that this mission will likely become complex as although the Primary science objective is to study the atmosphere of Neptune, I still have not decided to fully commit to a Neptune flyby as I may need the information on a trajectory to truly assess the risk. It is plausible that the flyby may be possible as a result of the Pioneer Venus mission however I do not want to jump to conclusions just yet.
