Solar Panel Deployment Mechanism
Solar Panel Deployment Mechanism
This project presents the design and simulation of a single-axis spacecraft solar panel deployment mechanism developed using Siemens NX 2412 and Simcenter 3D Motion 2506. The objective is to model a realistic deployment sequence where the solar panel rotates smoothly from its stowed configuration to its deployed position through a revolute hinge driven by a stepper motor.

Monte Carlo Investigation of Spacecraft Radiation Shielding Using SPENVIS, Geant4 and GRAS for a spacecraft OBDH in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)
Monte Carlo Investigation of Spacecraft Radiation Shielding Using SPENVIS, Geant4 and GRAS for a spacecraft OBDH in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)
Developed a Monte Carlo radiation-shielding analysis workflow combining SPENVIS space-environment models with Geant4/GRAS Forward Monte Carlo transport simulations for a VLEO spacecraft bus.
Evaluated 1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm structural shielding configurations across 39 simulations, quantifying TID, LET, TNID, TNID-V, and particle fluence at an internal silicon sensor.
Demonstrated that shielding effectiveness is particle- and damage-mechanism dependent, with increased thickness reducing trapped-electron TID while potentially increasing GCR-induced non-ionizing damage through secondary-particle transport.
FreeCAD GDML Workbench
FreeCAD GDML Workbench
Active contributor to the GDML workbench of FreeCAD.
Contributed to the maintenance of the FreeCAD GDML Workbench, enabling CAD-based creation, inspection, and exchange of geometry through the GDML standard.
Developed and tested GDML geometry workflows and supporting functionality, including CAD-to-GDML conversion, tessellation, and geometry preparation for Geant4-based simulations.
Improved the integration between mechanical CAD and particle-transport simulation workflows, supporting more practical geometry development and validation for radiation-analysis applications.
Antenna Deployer Mechanism Concepts
Antenna Deployer Mechanism Concepts
Designed and optimized a spacecraft deployment mechanism, evaluating torsional spring-loaded and motor-controlled actuation for precision payload deployment in microgravity conditions.
Conducted structural and kinematic analyses of deployment rods and actuators, selecting aerospace-grade materials to meet mass, reliability, and environmental constraints.
Led risk assessment and trade-off studies, integrating redundancy and damping mechanisms to enhance deployment reliability and mitigate high-priority failure scenarios.
Active Debris Removal and Spacecraft Re-entry
Active Debris Removal and Spacecraft Re-entry
Conducted comprehensive market and competitive analysis for the active debris removal (ADR) and spacecraft re‑entry sector—evaluating a $122 M market growing at 29.7 % CAGR, profiling key players (Astroscale, ClearSpace, etc.), and mapping customer segments across government agencies, private operators, and insurers to underpin Logispace’s go‑to‑market strategy.
Developed a technical and product roadmap outlining five generations of hardware (from small LEO capturers to nuclear‑powered GEO retrieval systems) and three generations of software (digital‑twin atmospheric and robotic simulation platforms), integrating ADR capture mechanisms, controlled re‑entry technologies, and material recycling processes for satellite refurbishment.
Authored business case and cost‑benefit modelling, including SWOT and legal‑policy assessments, financial projections for post‑mission disposal compliance, and circular‑economy frameworks for high‑purity material recovery—driving strategic recommendations for insurer partnerships, secondary service lines, and sustainable supply‑chain initiatives.
