Note: I am studying GNC Engineering in my free time.
My self-directed study plan includes math, physics, mechanics, orbital mechanics, flight dynamics / attitude determination and control, engineering fundamentals, error analysis, and computer science (mainly software engineering, but a smidge of electronics hardware too).
You can see some of my work in the 'Satellite Telementry' article in the Aerospace Engineering section of my Knowledge Base (accessible with the guest login).
Knowledge BaseGuidance, Navigation, and Control Engineering
GNC Engineering is the branch of engineering that pertains to the path planning, state estimation (location, attitude, motion, etc.), and related control systems for vehicles, such as aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, etc.) and spacecraft (rockets, satellites, etc).
GNC Engineering addresses the questions: Where do I want to go to? Where am I? How do I get there?
Satellite Telemetry Project
Note: This project is in development.
This is the first of a three-part project (Satellite Telemetry, Navigation Filter Design, and Mission Control Design) aimed at expanding my knowledge and showcasing my skills at the interface between the fields of Data Science, Software Engineering, and GNC Engineering.
The project demonstrates skills relevant to programming, project managment, technical writing (documentation, report, etc.), and mission management in addition to software development and GNC Engineering skills.
Of note, this project highlights the creation of custom visualizations and interactive interfaces to communicate mission-critical information.
To view the project, use the Knowledge Base's guest login and select the 'Project: Satellite Telemetry' article in the 'Aerospace Engineering' section. You'll find it located toward the end of the navigation list.
