- Spacecraft Modes of Operation: Defining main operational areas and criteria for switching between them. - Spacecraft Command Sequences: Breaking down Modes of Operation into specific actions managed by the spacecraft's computer, with criteria for each transition. - Mission Simulation: Using STK to simulate the FINCH mission, modeling spacecraft aspects like ADCS, camera, thermal, and radiation dynamics. - FINCH Command Menu: Creating a command list and format for ground-to-spacecraft instructions, including mode changes and software updates. - FINCH Ops Error Checklist: A handbook of checklists for addressing potential mission errors. - FINCH Mission Control: Building a UI for command and telemetry exchange, with mission ops responsible for post-launch spacecraft operations.

- Conducted research into linear mixing members for spectral mixing analysis with the purpose of analyzing spectral data from the hyperspectral imaging satellite FINCH - Implemented algorithms in python to conduct spectral unmixing

- Work with CAD to design satellite parts - Collaborate with different subdivisions to create a satellite to be launched in the near future - Research vibration testing and curate information applicable to the FINCH satellite

- Overlook ground and in space operations of FINCH satellite - Work on development of ground station Mission Control based on NASA’s OpenMCT

Planned and executed a workshop about satellite systems engineering and operations at 14th National WiSE conference.

- Helped students approach and tackle school assignments - Created safe environment for students to engage in active learning - Taught subjects varying from math and science to English and French - Worked with site resources to help students get ahead in school

Worked with middle school and high school students to improve skills in math, English, science, and French.
