New Submarine Sensor Computer
The sub has a new computer for sensors. Sensors are managed at 3 levels. 1st, A&D sensors connected to an Arduino. It handles any big swings, the “reflex” actions. Data then passes to this PC for display, logging, warnings. Then data is bluetoothed to the AI PC for big decisions.
This is the architecture that we will use for the sensor system in the high altitude crew module.

Launch site work
We had 60 mph winds at Area 42 a month ago. It tore the roof off the bathroom. I found one piece a 1/2 mile away and yes there was a rattle snake already living under it. A day of repair later and I think we’ll get one more flight season out of it.
