First of all, I was surprised to find that Luna I was featured in the latest Hacklet edition for water borne projects!

It has been a while since my last blog posting because I have become very busy. I am currently working to complete the design and test some parts, The thrusters, through hull connectors and tether are the most difficult to figure out. As an aside, it is important to note the design of the Kort nozzles come from the SV Seeker website: http://svseeker.com/rov_thrurters.htm

In the coming weeks you should see the motor tests. This project is definitely long term because many of the parts are not cheap, many require custom fabrication and take much consideration before following through on a purchase. I also plan to update the design and the parts catalog to have real part links in the coming days.

Happy Hacking,
