For the first time in five years, the international space station changed course on Wednesday to avoid a piece of space junk — in this case, satellite debris that the Russians have insisted wasn't there.
The glowing Crab Nebula, a spectacular and colorful object famously imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, represents the leftovers from a supernova explosion observed by Chinese and Arab astronomers in 1054 C.E.
NASA engineers successfully freed a stuck metal pin on the space shuttle Atlantis late Tuesday, but the work delayed plans to roll the spacecraft out to its Florida launch pad this week.
A virus designed to swipe passwords from online gamers has inexplicably popped up in some laptop computers aboard the international space station.
Astronomers say fresh imagery of a powerful collision of galaxy clusters supports the idea that dark matter is something totally separate from ordinary matter.

EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS :
October 2007-
August 2008 Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, UK
Msc Astronautics and Space Engineering
Main subjects include, Space system engineering, Spacecraft operation, Propulsion, Launch vehicles, Guidance, navigation and control. This Msc provided me with a good knowledge of spacecraft system design and also a good practical knowledge of spacecraft operation using realistic spacecraft simulators.
Group project: ‘On-Orbit servicing’. AOCS engineer.The aim of the project is to design both the servicing and the serviceable spacecraft in order to refuel, repair and/or upgrade various components. My role was to select and size the various AOCS components required for the two spacecraft in order to fulfil the mission. This project has improved my skills in working as part of a team of twelve students.
Thesis: ‘End of life deorbit device by increasing drag coefficient’. The aim of the work is to investigate the coefficient of drag for a large range of atmospheric conditions, gas-surface interaction models and orbit parameters. The purpose of the study is to find efficient ways of deorbiting satellites after their operational life.

EMPLOYMENT HYSTORY
February-july 2007: Intership in CEA Grenoble, France
CEA is a research center involved in the development of fuel cells. The work was to design cooling systems for automotive application using fuel cells as the main power generator.
May-august 2006: Internship in Cranfield University, UK
Research work on the noise gnerated by impulse turbines. The project focused also on the efficiency improvement of impulse turbines. These turbines are used to generate electric power using sea-wave energy.
