In 2023, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to partake in the European Astro Pi Challenge. Over the course of two months, myself and Artemii Teplov were able to successfully develop a program written in the Python programming language that estimated the average speed of the ISS. Our program was successfully executed on the ISS in 2024. We later received certifications from the ESA and the data that was gathered when the program was executed on the ISS.
- Assisted with the development of the system that captures data from the Astro Pi computer's sensors and camera
- Developed the system responsible for saving the gathered images and data into the correct folders and files
- Debugged and fixed identified issues in the program's code

Partaking in the European Astro Pi Challenge, was a challenging and rewarding experience. The opportunity allowed me to improve my problem solving and communication skills. In addition, working on the project has improved my understanding of the Python programming language and similar programming languages. I am proud that our team was able to successfully develop the program to estimate the speed of the ISS in the allotted time.
