Highlights of recent developments on the MiniSShot Project
-------------------------------------------------------------
- A telecon was held on February 9th to firm up a new MiniSShot launch
date and to plan upcoming tasks leading up to the launch. The new
primary launch date is March 21st with a backup date of April 4th. To
take advantage of the interim period, continued ground testing of the
avionics is underway. As well, a flight test of the avionics and a
flight test of the recovery system is planned. Participants in the
telecon were Matt Campbell, Chris King, Rick Maschek and Richard Nakka.

- As reported in last week’s Activity Report, Peter Kocalka flew to
California with the intention of participating in the MiniSShot launch.
Due to the scrub, Rick Maschek and wife Barbara were kind enough to show
Peter many of the interesting sights around the area:

- Good progress toward the goal of establishing Sugar Shot to Space as a
non-profit organization (NPO) has been made. Incorporation has been
completed. The next step is to file for 501c3 tax exemption status.

-Silver donor Dustin Brown has made another donation to the Sugar Shot
fund. Thank you, Dustin, for your vote of confidence.
