● Created a satellite simulation environment which permits students to interactively fly satellites and develop a deeper understanding of space vehicle control● Created the lab environment and integrating the ESAT owned by FIT to work with an air bearing table and other hardware, allowing for a visual simulation of satellite movement and illustration of how the attitude determination process works● Integrated the COSMOS control system software to work with the ESAT and other hardware/software● Created a computer vision system to allow for the simulation of how a star tracker works● Created experiments for students to perform in the finished lab which are capable of simulating real-life problems encountered by satellites ● Finalized a critical design review to refine the goals of project and steps needed to reach these goals

The Orbital Robotic Interaction, On-orbit servicing, and Navigation laboratory provides unique simulation capabilities for maneuver kinematics and dynamics of air and space vehicles. Some of the projects that I have worked on include:- Developed CAD models for NASA Capture, Containment, and Re-Return System of an apparatus which tests the stability of a Martian sample return capsule. - Integrated motion tracking system with autonomous flight function for a UAV using C++. - Currently designing a mount for a robotic arm, which will be attached on an air bearing vehicle.
