  Worked and Mentored on design, development and flight qualification of Pilot (PSLV In-orbital OBC and Thermals), which is India’s first additive manufactured student small-satellite bus payload. It was flown successfully onboard PSLV C55 on April 22, 2023.https://www.iist.ac.in/Acc System engineering for IIST Hybrid Sounding Rocket Experiment. INSPIRESat-1 (IS-1) is a student-built nanosatellite that is launched aboard PSLV C-52 on February 14, 2022. IS-1 was developed by the Laboratory of Atmospheric & Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA in collaboration with the Small-Spacecraft Systems and Payload Centre (SSPACE) at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, India. I was the IS-1 Sat-LV Integration engineer and Quality Assurance.https://www.iist.ac.in/inspiresat1 Undergraduate Student in Aerospace Engineering.
