Satellite Systems

I have lead and developed multiple systems that are either currently in orbit or are about to be launched. The first system I worked on was the communication's subsystem for EagleSat-1. After this I was able to become the lead propulsion engineer on several other satellite projects, designing the thrusters, plumbing layout, thermal system, and fluid management.

The shown images are of a proposed Cubesat transfer system that uses Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP). To improve the storability of traditional NTP systems, this Hydrazine as the working fluid.
