Orbital Cooling Plate

During my internship at Orbital Research, I designed and built a temperature-controlled setup for RF testing. My work included the mechanical structure, Peltier cooling hardware integration, and wiring.

Outcome

I completed and tested the setup, documented its use, and trained others to use it.

Design and build

I designed and fabricated the mechanical assembly, then integrated the cooling hardware and electronics into the test setup.

Testing

I used thermocouples and a thermal camera to check temperatures and examine their distribution across the setup.
