  Exoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE) Project

  - Designed and executed comprehensive tests and analyses of images captured by a 360° action camera during a high-altitude test flight of the balloon-borne telescope. Leveraged findings to accurately reconstruct the telescope’s azimuth data.- Assembled hardware for a telescope gondola and conducted testing of the System Control Board to verify functionality and readiness for a test flight.
