-Developed an object oriented physics simulator in C++, and Qt which builds on the existing simulator (KOSIA), to further extend capabilities-Contributed to the ongoing development of KOSIA, Kepler’s open-source satellite RF interference simulation tool-Performed interference analyses to support regulatory affairs with governing bodies and other satellite.

-Continuing design and simulation of the passive magnetic attitude control system-Ran simulations to analyze how different physical configurations would effect the systems performance (i.e. residual magnetic moment)-Currently writing a paper on the attitude control system design-Manage orbital analysis subteam, which involves allocating tasks to different.

Passive Magnetic Attitude Control Design-Implementing a full design of the attitude control system using hysteresis rods and permanent magnets-The permanent magnets will align the long axis of the body with that component of the Earth's magnetic field, to improve antenna performance (the antenna are located on the bottom, so this will cause the antenna to.
