My main responsibilities were satellite power-thermal modeling, and creating a process to analyze satellite telemetry. - Maintained and improved satellite power-thermal modeling for short- and long-term analyses - Decreased satellite power-thermal runtimes by ~70% through code optimization - Increased fidelity of power-thermal model by adding features such as dynamic heater models, more accurate shadowing, and telemetry-informed radiative heat loss - Created tools to extract, process, and analyze telemetry to improve satellite modeling - Analyzed seasonal and lifetime satellite performance to support constellation rollout decisions and system-wide capacity pricing options
