4/30/21: Updates and readings

 Agenda and Minutes

1. Updates and plans.

• RS submitted VJB's paper to WMSCI before the deadline. 
• Registration and etc. fees: MH, PT, VJB, any news?
• VJB is now finding half lives by launch year for each individual year.
• SD has registered for project in the Fall.

2. Background literature update.

• Anything to report?

For general reference here are some generic questions about articles:

       a. What is the source? 
       b. What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper? 
       c. Why is that advance important? 
       d. What important questions arise from the paper for future research? 
       e. What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer? 
       f. What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)? 
       g. What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals? 

       h. Questions from the group? 

3. Reading and discussion: 

    a. For the Reynolds and Szerszynski reading, we read up to the sentence beginning with "However" in the partial par. at the top of p. 18. So we can start there next time and hopefully finish the paper. Reading sentence by sentence instead of paragraph by paragraph seems to work better for what seems to be becoming a somewhat unconvincing paper.

    b. Our next paper will be  Hu et al. 2015, A survey on life prediction of equipment.

    c. We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like a good paper for us to read.
