NDMS-1 Lightweight Reconnaissance Drone

Third session. TwT, been busy these few weeks since school is starting soon. I meant to record more time for this session but I accidently stopped the recording.

I’ve been basically researching drone components and defining the optimal part specification in a document, which will help me select components that are suitable and compatible with the drone next session. (put it in simple words - a document of: motor types/speeds; electronic voltage requirements; radar frequencies/power; etc - that the components i eventually choose must fullfill in order for the drone to work)

Soo… second session in. 6 hours this time. Just researching drone subsystems and how they work together. I created a mindmap (Again!?!?) of each component so I can refer to it when im part picking. Im still in the planning stage so ^^ I dont have any cool 3d renders to show at the moment. ᓚᘏᗢ

First session in! - ~4 hours drafting project architecture (fig. 1), mission objective, CONOPS (Concept of Operations), and design objectives (fig. 2).

^ These are basically the purpose, requirements, and constraints of my drone. Organizing them out first makes the design proccess easier for me.

I started my Stardance project a bit late (cuz of school stuff) but I’m glad now that I got things running. I am currently on vacation but will still gladly find time to work on my drone. See you guys in the near future when i post more devlogs!
