Ryan Tengan developed and enhanced features for the Space-and-Satellite-Systems-UC-Davis/ADCS-Software repository, focusing on satellite control and data visualization. He built a Python script to visualize satellite in-range events, generating histograms of daily visibility to support operational analysis. In C, he refactored error handling across embedded modules, introducing specific enumerations to improve reliability and debugging. Ryan also integrated ground station elevation data into the pointing pipeline, updating the dish control logic to use configuration-driven azimuth and elevation calculations. His work demonstrated depth in C programming, embedded systems, and scripting, delivering targeted improvements that increased system accuracy and maintainability.

August 2025 (Month: 2025-08): Delivered a data-driven enhancement to the ADCS Software by introducing a ground-station elevation configuration (PS_data.txt) and integrating it into the pointing pipeline. The dish pointing path (point_dish) now uses elevation data for more accurate azimuth/elevation calculations, and the main control flow reads the data from the file to enable calibrated, repeatable pointing. This work is captured in the commit 5fdaf9d70fe9838f7b91ca168404d63feabdd7fe with message 'PS data config file, groundstation elevation for further accuracy of point_dish calculations'.

July 2025: Delivered a Python-based Satellite In-Range Event Visualization Script and enhanced error handling with specific enumerations across the ADCS-Software stack to improve observability, reliability, and debugging efficiency. These improvements increase operational readiness and support faster issue resolution.
