Hi All,
Website
As part of my effort to stop the hacker collective, I have finally migrated over the website to a different CMS system. This should hopefully stop the black hats from finding holes in the security compared to more well known CMS's, *cough* wordpress.
Take a look at https://manchesterspaceprogramme.org
The rest of the pages for the site will be filled in due course. Also by demand there is now a twitter feed on the site.
Reminds me to talk to Mark about cross posting on Facebook.
I will also be looking to migrate the wiki over as well but that is less a target for hackers, so I will just be monitoring that for now.
Data mining launch locations
In other news I have been doing some data mining of habhub data (that big collection of payload data). I have been looking for launch locations in the North West.
Now the HAB IRC community have shunned me for doing this as a complete waste of time but I thought I would do it anyway.
I have got all the flight documents for every official launch on habhub around the Manchester area. So a flight document is just form submitted to habhub about a potential launch.
The thing I am now looking at is, every payload that has passed within our north westerly skies under 10km. That's much more tricky (especially with 3.1 million data strings) to search for.
The script for that is running as we speak, so more on that in the next meeting.
This is the document for everything I collected so far : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ThYCZb8FoX0P7fb-f2pnMbvTKNgxW_2ONTzLDk9SjVo/edit?usp=sharing

As mentioned at the end of the website section in the first post. I have now migrated our data over to a new wiki system. The old one is now read only.
This should stop any further server attacks but I'll keep an eye on that.
I'll be migrating stuff slowly over the coming months.
All access has been reset for this wiki, so if anyone wants an account please let me know.
