Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week 6 (Final Week)
It is astounding how the past six weeks have flown past. My work during the final week consisted mainly of observing the communications board of a different satellite, CU-E3, going through troubleshooting because it wasn’t cooperating with the radio correctly. The process involved a mixer that is fed a low frequency (382 MHz in our […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week Five
Week five had a major success, but we won’t actually be able to utilize the success because all of our equipment is still gone. Hydra now has no more errors and continues to run its commands and scripts without error. The script themselves were where the faults could be found. Contrary to what we thought, […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week Four
Week four was a lot of troubleshooting. Firstly, the 31st, we decided to head to the lab. Waiting for everything to set up, I observed another intern (who was much older than I) doing some other radio testing. Essentially, his computer was sending a modulation called QPSK to a radio that runs the bits sent (bits […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week Three
Week three was filled with progress and success! We actually managed to get Hydra working on our computers, and that included getting it to work on Aidan’s Mac, which we thought would be impossible. However, separate programs allowed us to run Hydra for Aidan. Unfortunately, both of our programs were stuffed with errors. Firstly, the […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week 2
Our second week here was filled with many more specific tasks to take on. We were given a more in-depth look of Hydra, its functions and correlation with the XML coding that we are editing. We have also begun to create new additional functions to the code specific to the Maxwell satellite. Hilariously, we all […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week One
The first week for Aidan and I was a lot to take in. Our mentor, Andrew, dropped a ton of information about the satellite named Maxwell, it’s components, functions, and its operating system named Hydra, which is our primary project. What we have to do is make a copy of the code that we can […]
