2007 Space Elevator Games – (Entry 18)

Here are some pictures of the McGill Space Elevator team’s (damaged) equipment.

This is their Microwave antenna.  You can see the gash at the top.

Here is the rectenna, also slightly damaged.

And here is their climber.  It, too, has problems, but they are working on fixing them.

These guys are very busy getting things working so I’ve not bugged them about details of the accident.  But I will before the Games are out…

As always, click on the thumbnails for a larger version of the picture.

    The gash is actually intentional. It is necessary to have the hook-shaped waveguide feed through the dish and back around towards it centered at the focal point.
