Currently collaborating with the Space Systems Design Laboratory to modify the firmware of the OpenLST software-defined radio developed by Planet Labs. The modifications aim at making the software conform to amateur radio specifications, providing an affordable communication solution for University teams developing small satellites worldwide. My responsibilities within the project included:

• Modify the C code of the on-board TI CC1110 chip to make it compatible with G3RUH scrambled, AX.25 amateur radio packets.

• Implement a KISS Terminal Node Controller (TNC) for the radio interface with a flight computer.

• Add new commands and functionalities to the default software.
