This was a week of code changes and end-of-semester preparations that kept us quite busy! We implemented plotting for our observation structure (OBS), missed targets, boresight vectors, and training metrics. Each of these will improve explainability in our project by allowing us to examine each step in our system. This is a luxury exclusive to us while our code is still on the ground. Once our work is in space, it will become astronomically more difficult to explore metrics! Below are some example plots of the OBS using Matplotlib and training metrics in TensorBoard, respectively:


Additionally, we have been working on our System Level Design Review (SLDR) drafting in preparation for our peer-review SLDR next week. The final SLDR presentation in a few weeks will be our last deliverable of the semester. It is crazy to be looking ahead to the end of IPPD 1 already, but we have loved the experience so far, and are excited to end strong!
