Professional Achievements |
I participated in the following projects EgyptSat-1 Satellite EgyptSat-1 was the first remote sensing satellite that was developed in Ukraine under technology transfer contract to train Egyptian engineers to be qualified as space engineers in their specialties. I participated in this project as communication systems engineer since the start of the project. This project started in 2002, and the satellite launched in 2007 and stopped operating in 2010. I was responsible for communications system design including: Telemetry, Tracking and Control subsystem Image Transmission subsystem On-board GPS receiver Points of Specialty: System engineering of Satellite Communication Systems Satellite tracking algorithms (frequency and time): working with transceiver programmed on chip (FPGA and µ-processor) Satellite link design (budget calculations and signal structure) RF active/passive circuit design Participated in satellite engineering model tests Participated in Satellite-GCS compatibility tests Participated in GCS assembly, integration and test DSP unit for satellite S-band transceiver This project aimed at reverse engineering of the used DSP unit in the S-band subsystem used in EgyptSat-1 satellite, and redevelop it using more-recent FPGA/DSP components. The project started in 2007 and finished in 2009. My role in this project was: Designing, implementation and testing of the DSP unit of the satellite communication subsystem Developing, implementation and testing of the acquisition and tracking algorithms of the satellite signals including carrier and spreading codes Algorithms are FPGA based DSP unit for satellite imager This project aimed at developing the DSP unit of a satellite payload subsystem, and to qualify this unit to work in space. The project started in 2015 and finished in 2016. My role in this project was: Designing, implementation and testing of a satellite image processing algorithms including compression, error detection & correction, and selection control Algorithms are FPGA based and passed tests against space radiation in a nuclear reactor in Japan Upgrading satellite data reception station in Aswan Aswan data reception station was built to receive satellite payload image data from satellites such as EgyptSat-1, Spot-5, LandSat-7. Recently, there is a need to upgrade the station to receive from more satellites with higher specs. This project started in 2015 and finished in 2016. My role in this project was: To check for the current station status, and develop the station upgrading requirements to meet the specs for desired satellites To study different solutions for upgrading, and implement the best one solution for upgrading To test and validate the station performance after upgrading |

Professional Achievements |
Projects in progress NExSat-1 satellite NARSS EXperimental SATellite-1 is a nano-satellite, in which the Egyptian specialists are exploiting their experience to develop the system design, testing equipment, adapting existing GCS, and flight software, and to assembly, integrate and test of the satellite. Space qualification of the satellite will be held in Egypt as well. This project started in 2015 and the satellite will be launched in 2018. My role in this project is: Participation in system engineering of satellite system Responsible for satellite payload communication subsystem working at X-band, including system engineering and design Responsible for modification of existing ground data reception station to receive the images data of NExSat-1 Responsible for design and implementation of the check equipment for the X-band transmitter on-board equipment Development of High Data Rate X-Band Transmitter System (DTS) for LEO Remote Sensing Satellites This project aims at developing satellite payload transmitter with high data rate working in X-band suitable for nano or bigger satellites, and can be adapted to be used in CubeSats. This project started in 2016 and the will be completed in mid-2018. My role in this project is: Co-Project Manager System Engineer and designer Responsible for managing project personnel and system design to develop the X-band transmitter locally Egy-Univer-Sat-1 (EUS-1) satellite Egy-Univer-Sat-1 (EUS-1) is a 2U CubeSat where its modules are being developed in Egyptian universities as students’ graduation projects. This project started in 2016, and the satellite will be launched in 2019. The satellite mission is to qualify the locally developed satellite modules to work in space. My role in this project is: System engineer for one year and then project manager Put project schedule and monitor tasks execution Provide project resources need Analyze the top-level system requirements and develop subsystem specifications Design the satellite system to have valid interfacing, budgets, configuration, and integration Prepare for verification plans, methods, and procedures, and to prepare for qualification measures Misrsat-2 Satellite MistSat-2 is a mini-satellite weighs about 330 Kg and has payload of high-resolution cameras. MisrSat-2 is a complete satellite system and is jointly being developed between Egypt and China. The system is composed of the satellite, ground control station combined with data reception station for satellite payload, mission control center, and satellite image processing center. This project stated in 2017 and the system should be ready in 2020 My role in this project is: Member of the system engineering team Responsible for developing of ground segment (ground control station and data reception station), and payload-data transmitter on-board subsystem |
