During May 2025, John Knepper developed the foundational Power Distribution Module for the Space-and-Satellite-Systems-UC-Davis/IntelliSat repository, focusing on embedded systems and hardware control using C. He implemented GPIO-based power sequencing to enable safe, efficient on/off control of critical satellite subsystems, including the pyro, magnetorquer, and HDDs. This work established the initial framework for power budgeting, fault isolation, and safe power sequencing within the satellite bus. By delivering per-peripheral power management, John addressed the need for safer and more autonomous subsystem operation, laying essential groundwork for future enhancements in satellite autonomy and reliability. The work demonstrated solid depth in embedded design.
