Abstract

The Santa Clara Radio Astronomy Project (SCRAP) IV: Data Processing is the fourth year of a multi-year project that aims to provide SCU with a fully functioning radio telescope in a costefficient manner. The project aims to provide this radio telescope as a hands-on tool that can be used not just for scientific discovery, but also for SCU academic use in a wide variety of different subjects, such as electrical engineering and physics. This year, our SCRAP team aimed to bolster the long-term operation of the telescope, which is a key feature it must have for it to be considered fully functional. To do so, we provided the radio telescope with a long-term storage solution as well as a graphical user interface to allow users to interface with the telescope capture process and view the incoming data through a dynamically updating live feed and a search page.
