  • Readings for today: 
    • We finished a page linked from https://www.planet4589.org  >  https://planet4589.org/space/index.html  >  https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/web/intro. We will start on the next page linked from there, which has link tag "SatType scheme," next time.
    • We did not read from https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/9/2/572 (because no one with a focus on the topic attended. We have read up to "The authors in [31] also approached survival from a binary classification, i.e., transplant success or failure."and can start there next time there is a strong reason to continue with this article.
  • Here are some generic questions about articles (and videos):
    • What is the source?
    • What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper?
    • Why is that advance important?
    • What important questions arise from the paper for future research?
    • What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer?
    • What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)?
    • What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals?
    • Questions from the group?

 3. Previously completed readings include:

    • We finished section 6 of MR paper (C:\Users\jdberleant\Dropbox\research\SpaceTravelMetric-b6-5-16\PapersAndPresentations\byOthers\MatthewRoughanDraft.pdf). This completes the parts that we planned to read. 
    • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9o66fH_sgo (about MOXIE device which converts CO2 to oxygen). We then read a bit more about MOXIE on wikipedia.
