CanSat: Bringing an egg back from space with a paraglider
How we navigated flexible-wing aerodynamics, deciphered literature nuances, deduced missing inlet angles from photos, engineered millimeter-precise Kevlar rigging, and ran drone descent tests to fulfill a demanding CanSat mission requirement.
How to explain orbital decay to a linear regression
A satellite in low orbit is slowly falling, and there is a classical formula that predicts it. I wanted to know whether the simplest model in machine learning could do better, and the answer turned out to depend entirely on what I chose to tell it.
From zero to a 6-DoF simulator for LEO satellites
How I went from knowing almost no orbital mechanics to researching, designing, implementing, and verifying a six-degree-of-freedom satellite simulator.
