Project Work Experience
Unified Communications Architecture for Nano-Satellites – Wolverine Communications
Under the guidance of Dr.James Lyke from Air Force Research Laboratory(AFRL), I was involved in this project which had a sole attitude to“develop a technology independent environment for communication with the Spacecraft encompassing spacecraft radio architectures, ground access, and web services”. My involvement is in designing security protocols that would suit all users either confidential or public and in dealing with the overall systems operation and management.
High Altitude Balloon – Balloon Lab Team
As part of a team involved in designing and launching a High Altitude balloon, I was responsible in the design and implementation of a Communication sub-system with a sole requirement to maintain two-way communication for at least 80% of the flight time. As the communication frequency happens to be an Amateur band working with APRS, I earned a Call-Sign ‘KD8NQV’ from FCC.
JUNO
I was involved in a team of two to present a poster on the scientific and engineering concepts of JIRAM and MWR instruments onboard the Juno spacecraft relative to the subject of “Atmospheric Composition and Dynamics”, working under the mentorship of Dr. Sushil Atreya.
Electro-Static Propulsion Satellite (ESP-Sat): Nano-particle Field Extraction Thruster (NanoFET) CubeSat Platform Design
This project at the University of Michigan is jointly being developed by Electro Dynamic Applications (EDA) with a goal to leverage a single, flexible electric propulsion engine to enhance and enable a broad range of missions, enabling a better propulsion system for CubeSats. My involvement is in designing and implementing a Communication sub-system that would download data directly to the U of M for analysis once the experiment is commenced.
Quadrature Electric Field Sensor for Mars
Under the mentorship of Dr. Nilton Renno, our team studied modifications to be applied, and testing environments to raise the TRL of existing U of M electric field sensor with an overarching goal to fly the final design sensor onboard 2018 ExoMars mission. I have been appointed as lead and my involvement is in systems engineering and management.
Uranus
Under the mentorship of Dr. Michael Combi, I worked on designing a space mission to study the origin and evolution, atmosphere and magnetosphere of the planet Uranus including tours of its five major moons. This project is accomplished by selecting appropriate suite of instruments with high level systems engineering.
Proficiency acquired in:
