Engineers have been at Russia's Plesetsk launch site for a month now, ticking off the jobs on the 'to do' list so that the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite is fit and ready for liftoff on 13 October. With the satellite now fuelled, the team has passed another milestone.
Fuelling a satellite is a particularly delicate operation. Hydrazine is extremely toxic so only a few specialists wearing 'scape' suits remain in the cleanroom.
Once filled with 82 kg of hydrazine, the satellite was weighed...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope helped an international team of astronomers find that an unusual object in the asteroid belt is, in fact, two asteroids orbiting each other that have comet-like features. These include a bright halo of material, called a coma, and a long tail of dust.
Hubble was used to image the asteroid, designated 300163 (2006 VW139), in September 2016 just before the asteroid made its closest approach to the Sun. Hubble’s crisp images revealed that it was actual...

The Sun's recent activity has caught the interest of scientists and space weather forecasters worldwide, highlighting the need to keep a watchful eye on our star and its awesome power.
On 6 and 10 September, our Sun produced a pair of solar flares, the strongest observed in over 10 years. They were accompanied by huge eruptions of billions of tonnes of matter into space.
While many such eruptions fall back onto the hot surface, these two did not and became 'coronal mass ejections' (CMEs) -...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has observed a planet outside our solar system that looks as black as fresh asphalt because it eats light rather than reflecting it back into space. This light-eating prowess is due to the planet's unique capability to trap at least 94 percent of the visible starlight falling into its atmosphere.
The oddball exoplanet, called WASP-12b, is one of a class of so-called "hot Jupiters," gigantic, gaseous planets that orbit very close to their host ...

SUMMARY:
My prime interests are detectors and astronomy instrumentation for space application. In the years that I have worked in engineering and research, I have built a strong background in electronic instrumentation from DC to microwave frequency. I'm interested in innovative ideas on physics and microwave circuitry. I have knowledge in the design and calibration, as well as extensive experience using vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, lock-in amplifiers and signal generators, for the characterization of different kind of sensors.
I have also worked with different cryogenic techniques (He-3, He-4 continuous flow and closed cycle cryostats). Most recently, I'm developing a new cryogenic system for cosmology down to 100mK, where it is required adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR).
So, I would like to summarize that I have worked in a variety of projects and technology areas (e.g. space detection, wireless applications, magnetic sensors, instrumentation, etc.), which allowed me to have a strong background in new technologies at theoretical and practical level.
