The PATCOOL project aims to design and build a small-scale satellite to test a NASA-designed thermal coating. The coating should reduce thermal absorption by up to 20%, enabling more accurate experiments to be developed on spaceships and reduce the energy needed for cooling. As the Electrical Lead for the project, I am responsible for designing, testing, and integrating all electronics for the satellite, including the power system, the transcievers, the navigation system, the onboard computer and the payload board which is a dedicated circuit board for converting the analog values of the thermal sensors to digital values that the computer can read and send back to earth. PATCOOL will be finishing in late mate and will hopefully launch in November.
