There are many people that the QuakeSat team would like to give special thanks to, because without their dedication, their time, and their expertise the QuakeSat project would have never been possible.
First of all for making the
entire QuakeSat project
even possible, we would like to
thank first and foremost Professor Bob Twiggs from Stanford University and Keoki
Jackson from Lockheed Martin.
A warm thanks to
Celeste and Kevin Ford of Stellar
Solutions for being sponsors of the
the QuakeSat mission.
Thank you to QuakeFinder for bringing the vision of QuakeSat Mission.
A special thanks to Ed Luzzy from
L&M
Electronics in San Carlos for all of his help in precision
machining and expertise in mechanical craftsmanship.
Also a sincere thanks to the entire Stanford University Mentors group including
Lars Karrlson and John Ellis . Without their valuable time and knowledge
in designing satellite communication systems, I would have never been able to
design and tune the QuakeSat antenna system.
Thanks to , Jamie Cutler , Stanford University PhD student. Without his dedicated support in
satellite communication software and ground station support, we would not have
been able to finish QuakeSat in a year and a half time.
Thanks to Yoann Duriaud , Stanford
graduate student and NASA engineer. Without the path that he already blazed in
satellite communication systems construction, I wouldn't have a model to
follow after.
Also thanks the to many people
who dedicated some of their time to help us out in the early stages of QuakeSat
construction including Anthony Pena, Rich Shanahan, and James Harrison.
Thanks to Carston Mundt from NASA
for his help on the QuakeSat Watchdog timer／PIC
programming.
Thanks to Bill Stansbury and the crew at AMA in
Sunnyvale for their help in micro-assembly and soldering.
And a sincere thanks to my
wife, Yunlu Wang. Without her continued support for the past year and a half, my
continued time
and effort on the QuakeSat project would not have been possible.
