During my internship at the Ames Research Center, I was tasked with developing a web-based application designed to assist organizations in their small satellite development endeavors. This application offers information tailored to user specifications, focusing on each aspect of small satellite development.
The information for this application was sourced from the State-of-the-Art Small Satellite Technology Report. Our goal was to transform this report into a living document. To achieve this, we created a dynamic web application that provides a user-friendly platform. This platform empowers organizations of any size and scope to design, build, and deploy small spacecraft. One of my key achievements was the development of a dynamic web application. This application allows users to sort and search for specific database components, providing a highly interactive and responsive user experience.
The application is designed to be dynamic and modular, fetching data in real time and being easily updatable. Its modularity allows for easy future expansion, with the potential to add modules such as cost planning, artificial intelligence, and model-based systems engineering. The web application’s features include hardware specification input, searches pertaining to small spacecraft systems, navigation to NASA and small spacecraft resources, and a component storage bucket for exporting and better component visualization.
