'''Summary:''' The group met for the first time to get to know each other and understand what the senior project will be like. 
<br>

'''Accomplishments:'''
<br>
# The first meeting has been completed.
# VNC viewer was set up to establish remote connection to the virtual machines.
# The Wiki has been set up.


'''To-Do:'''
<br>
# Update the current GOES-16 framework so that it will work with GOES-19. Make it so the new system downloads images to channel 2. 

==Week 2==
09/25/2025
<br>
'''Summary:''' The group met to discuss the overall goals expected of us by Kopernik. The goal was given to update the current GOES-16 framework so that it would work with GOES-19 and download the images into channel 2.
<br>

'''Accomplishments:'''
<br>
# Group meeting has been completed.
# Set up connection to GOES-19.
# Set up a separate config file and image folder for GOES-19.
# Packets received from GOES-19.
# Image successfully downloaded from GOES-19.




'''To-Do:'''
<br>
# Meet with the Kopernik team to discuss what our next tasks will be.

==Week 3==
10/16/2025
<br>
'''Summary:''' Worked on properly setting up and automating the image collection, GIF creation, and obsolete images deletion for the GOES-19 system.
<br>

'''Accomplishments:'''
<br>
# Able to collect Images from GOES-19
# Able to convert gathered Images into a GIF
# Created a script so that it gathers the previous day's images at 00:10 AM and converts them into a gift.
# Created a delete script that removes images older than a certain number of days to save disk space.



'''To-Do:'''
<br>
# Unable to collect fully colored images, need to ask for clarification on what might be going wrong.
#Change GIF Framerate so that the image turns slightly slower.
# Look into whether the packet drops happen because of our diagnostics.

==Week 4==
10/23/2025
<br>
'''Summary:''' Fixed the issues that we were having the previous week in regards to getting the full color images. Adjusted our gif and delete scripts according to the previous weeks discussion.
<br>

'''Accomplishments:'''
<br>
# Able to receive colored images from the goes19 satellite.
# Created adjusted framerates in the gifs so that we can see what feels smoothest.
# Delete script refined so that it will remove unused folders and images after a set number of days.



'''To-Do:'''
<br>
# Fix the issue with random packet dropping
# Look into finding a smoother framerate for the gifs

==Week 5==
11/06/2025
<br>
'''Summary:''' New issue in regards to random stops in receiving packages for the GOES-19 system. Certain images are not being received properly.
<br>
'''Accomplishments:''' 
<br>
# Changed crontab scripts to see if they were causing issues.
# Trying different methods in image retrieval to diagnose what problems are causing the system to stop.
'''To-Do:'''
<br>
#Figure out and sustain a proper way to maintain images so we do not have to continuously restart image collection
#Once we have proper image collections running again, create a new script to make a smooth gif.
