Developed and validated attitude guidance laws for a CubeSat swarm studying the atmosphereCreated and documented pointing error budget to verify that mission requirements can be metCoordinated procurement of ADCS hardware from a commercial supplierMission Overview:Space Weather Atmospheric Reconfigurable Multiscale Experiment (SWARM-EX) is a formation-flying mission composed of three identical 3U-CubeSats which seeks to study scientific phenomena in Earth's upper atmosphere and demonstrate technologies for formation-flying. The ADCS must manage several sets of (often conflicting) pointing requirements throughout the mission including antenna pointing for downlink, GPS antenna pointing for precise relative navigation, and instrument pointing for data collection while subject to constraints such as star tracker keepouts and solar panel alignment to the Sun for power generation.

Conducted fit checks and final integration of the 1U CubeSatPerformed vibration and thermal-vacuum environmental tests and composed test reportsIdentified, documented, and debugged hardware anomaliesWrote the Integration Procedure and completed deployer interface validation documentationPerformed electrical testing and mechanical inspectionsMission Overview:The GT-X CubeSat Program is intended to educate future spacecraft engineers through a rapid lifecycle university CubeSat development project. The first 1U CubeSat, GT-1, was designed, built, integrated, tested, and operated by a team of undergraduate students. GT-1 was deployed from the International Space Station in February of 2022 and operated successfully on orbit for several months before re-entering the atmosphere.
