Abstract
The team’s mission was to further the ongoing efforts of refurbishing the Ortega Observatory at the Florida Institute of Technology campus. By reviewing work accomplished in previous years, our group planned for new designs and advancements. Our goals included the following: 1)Design a new Graphical User Interface (GUI), allowing control and operation of the telescope remotely. 2)Create a 1:12 scale model of the Ortega Observatory, allowing for future troubleshooting and testing capabilities. 3)Perform necessary maintenance and repair on the observatory and any supporting systems.
