Abstract
The Command and Data Handling Team for the ORCASat CubeSat project, funded by the Canadian Space Agency, is responsible for delivering a space-ready on-board computer, supporting testing infrastructure, and ground control mission software in a three-year timeline by the launch date in 2021. Members of this team are distributed across two universities and consist of undergraduate students contributing part-time to the project. Co-lead by two individuals, the team has implemented several techniques and practices to handle the challenges that come with managing remote work. We present the methods that have been employed in the management of this team, including meeting format, team communication software, use of version control and task tracking software, and practices for long-term planning. The standardization of a design process methodology, from requirements definition to implementation, is also discussed as it has greatly helped increase the efficiency of the team as a whole.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
