\headerwithlabel{yahs}{\href{https://github.com/philiplinden/yahs}{\faGithub\
philiplinden/yahs}}{Personal, 2024} A high altitude balloon flight simulator built
in Rust using the Bevy game engine. The project provides a modular framework for
simulating balloon dynamics and flight paths, with both graphical and command-line
interfaces. Available as both a standalone application and a reusable library for
integration into other projects.

\href{https://philiplinden.github.io/ahab/}{philiplinden.github.io/ahab}}{Personal,
2025} A high altitude balloon (HAB) flight software and simulation framework
written in Rust. The project provides tools for modeling HAB flight dynamics,
planning missions, and controlling balloon altitude through automated gas
venting and ballast dropping. Built with a focus on safety, reliability and
real-time performance.

\headerwithlabel{Cislunar Open Clock Synchronization System
(CLOCSS)}{\href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd8hiubLy48}{presentation}}{MoonDAO,
2023} {\it DARPA LunA-10 Proposal (Shortlisted)} Developed a concept for a
decentralized approach to lunar infrastructure. Authored manuscript and
presentation materials submitted to DARPA's
\href{https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2023-08-15}{LunA-10} capability study.

\headerwithlabel{Possibilities for a Local Lunar Time
Standard}{\href{https://www.openlunar.org/research/possibilities-for-a-local-lunar-time-standard}{white
paper}}{Open Lunar Fellowship, 2023} Authored a white paper that explores the
characteristics of a common reference timing signal to serve future lunar
operations. The goal was to identify a low-cost, transparent approach to the
development of a Local Lunar Time Standard.

\headerwithlabel{On-Orbit Demonstrations of Proactive Tasking of Glint Imagery}{}
{IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2023}
{\it Awarded Best Paper in Track (Track 12)} \href{https://doi.org/10.1109/AERO55745.2023.10115608}{doi:10.1109/AERO55745.2023.10115608} \\
Formalized a methodology to predict future glint windows over a specific region.
Studied various tasking approaches that described the satellite's actions during
these windows to autonomously acquire glint captures. These actions were then
demonstrated by orbiting satellites, and their captures were then analyzed.

\headerwithlabel{Automatic Optical Image Stabilization System Calibration}
{\href{https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/smallsat/2021/all2021/189/}{SSC21-VIII-05}}
{Small Satellite Conference, 2021} Developed and executed an on-orbit
calibration campaign. Automated on-orbit procedures and analyses were used for
calibration and validation of an optical image stabilization (OIS) system across
a fleet of 19 satellites. OIS actuation settings were configured for each image
capture through automated optimization procedures.

\headerwithlabel{High Altitude Balloon Autonomous Altitude Control
System}{\href{https://brickworks.github.io/Nucleus/pdr_altitudecontrol/}{brickworks.github.io/Nucleus}}{Personal, 2020}
Designed a control system for a high altitude balloon (HAB)
to maintain a target altitude by venting gas from the balloon and dropping
ballast mass in flight. I modeled passive flight dynamics of a HAB in MATLAB,
Simulink, and Python. I developed a state machine and control system in
Simulink and used the model to tune a PID controller. I then derived a
state-space model, Kalman filter, and LQR controller from scratch to achieve
better performance.

Contributed to a proposal for a Probe Class (\textasciitilde\$850M) NASA mission
for a 1.5 meter space telescope intended to observe near-infrared light from the
early universe. Compiled financial, mass, and power budgets for the optics,
instruments, cryocooler \& spacecraft. Defined system-level design, generated
representative CAD models and figures of the spacecraft. This mission was
published in the NASA 2020 Decadal Survey. My contribution: \href{https://github.com/runphilrun/CDIM-design/blob/master/cdim_design.pdf}{\it \faGithub\ runphilrun/CDIM-design}
