Today was a outstanding day in the ANTS camp.  After two months of
research and development, ANTS-PSR and the ANT FARM successfully completed
a simulated mission.  THe mission consisted of a single spacecraft mapping
the sky, locating asteroids in the image, setting a trajectory to
rendezvous with the asteroid, and successfully gathering spectra data from
the asteroid.  That was a really exciting accomplishment for both teams,
and the project in general.

In addition, we finalized the slides for our final presentation that will
take place tomorrow.  The combination of the ANTS-PSR presentation and our
presentation provides some really good information about the ANTS project
and our framework.  We're all looking forward to giving the presentation
to our mentors.  We also wrote an executive summary for our report that
will be available at the presentation tomorrow.

Overall, it was a great day for the ANT FARM.  We are looking forward to
bringing the project to a close in the next few days.

That's all for now.
