		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m extremely happy to announce that Project IRIS received 3rd prize in the Innovative Design category for the 2010 Ontario Engineering Competition! We had a great time participating and we&#8217;d especially like to congratulate the teams from the University of Ottawa and the University of Toronto who received 1st and 2nd prize respectively. All of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since we finished modeling the new capsule just a few days ago, it was impossible to resist making a couple of renderings. :) Here&#8217;s two shots, one with the cover (as it would appear in flight), and one without the cover so you can see what the inside of the capsule will look like.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things about designing hardware yourself is that you have full control over exactly what you want the devices to do. Lately we&#8217;ve been figuring out what to do with the one piece of complex hardware that we didn&#8217;t design &#8211; the Canon SX100IS digital camera. Let&#8217;s just say that Canon&#8217;s engineers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been insanely busy over the last couple of weeks getting everything together, so we haven&#8217;t really had much of a chance to update the website and let you guys know what our electronics design is all about. Our electronics package (which we call the FCU, or &#8220;flight control unit&#8221;) consists of two circuit boards. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The flight computer arrived a few days ago &#8211; and we&#8217;ll let the pictures speak for themselves. The unit on the left is our Colibri PXA320 system module &#8211; essentially the &#8220;brains&#8221; of the entire system. On the right is our development board which will come in handy for early development work. We&#8217;ll throw out [...]]]></description>
