Final Year Project
Design of Attitude Control System for Nanosatellite.
Pakistan is developing country and actively contributing in satellite design and engineering. This project was focused on
the design and development of ACS subsystem for the nanosatellite. In our research, we presented a novel design which
integrates printed embedded coils, compact coils and magnetic rods in a single package which is also complaint with 1U
CubeSat. These options provide maximum flexibility, redundancy and scalability in the design. The printed coils
consume no extra space because the copper traces are printed in the internal layers of the printed circuit board (PCB).
Moreover, they can be made reconfigurable by printing them into certain layers of the PCB, allowing the user to select
any combination of series and parallel coils for optimized design. The compact coil is wound around the available space
in a 1U complaint CubeSat panel and it can accommodate much greater number of turns compared to printed coil;
consequently, generating more torque. The magnetic rod is made complaint with the existing available options and can
easily be integrated in the panel. This design gives a lot of flexibility because one can choose to optimize power,
optimized torque or rotation time by choosing among the available magnetorquer options. The proposed design approach
occupies very low space, consume low power and is cost effective. The analysis in terms of generated torque with certain
applied voltages, trace widths. The analysis results in terms of selection of optimized parameters including torque to
power ratio presented.
Internships
August 2017 – Space Systems Lab, IST
September 2017 Internship of 5 Weeks at Space Systems lab in Institute of Space Technology,
Islamabad in which we worked on space environment that a spacecraft face
during the mission. In addition, a comparison of space environment of 1U and 3U
CubeSat.
August 2018 – Space Systems Lab, IST
September 2018 Internship of 6-7 Weeks at Space Systems lab in Institute of Space Technology,
Islamabad in which we worked on Printed magnetorquer for 2U and 3U Cubesat
to control the attitude of satellite. We also worked on Helmholtz coil to design the
testing environment for attitude control systems of Nanosatellites.
Term Projects
Mission Design and Analysis of a 3U Remote Sensing cubesat satellite
A complete mission of 3U CubeSat remote sensing satellite is designed and analyzed. Cost, mass, space and
Power budget analysis is done for the validity and feasibility of mission. In addition, mission is simulated on an
open source software GMAT of NASA.
Space Environment Analysis of 3U Cubesat
Space Environment of designed Remote sensing mission is analyzed by using the SPENVIS of ESA’s software.
Analysis is done of trapped proton and electron fluxes and solar proton fluences, radiation doses, damage
equivalent fluences for Si, GaAs and multi-junction solar cells and on LET and flux spectra and single
event upset rates.
Orbital analysis using Gaussian variation equations
The aim this project to measure the change in orbital parameters by using Gaussian Variation Equations, the
orbit of our satellite is in LEO. These changes caused due to perturbations that the space craft will face in the
orbit so that the desired lifetime of space craft can be ensured. Measured Perturbation forces are Force of
Atmospheric drag, due to Earth oblateness and Force due to solar radiation pressure. Finally, the effect of
perturbations will be tested in matlab.
Trainings and Workshops
APSCO Summer-camp at METU Ankara, Turkey
A summer camp of 3 weeks at Middle East Technical University Ankara, Turkey Organized by Asia
Pacific Space Cooperation (APSCO) student small satellite project. The aim of camp is to train the
students and faculties from member states of APSCO to study space technology and satellite
engineering through practical design of satellites until the flight model is made. The ultimate goal
of this project is not only to enable universities to undertake student satellite design and development,
but also to import space technologies through a satellite project as well as hands-on training/education.
Space Mission Analysis and Design by Dr. Jaan Praks (Finland) at ICASE-2019
This workshop was designed to introduce the concepts of designing and analysis of a space mission;
The focus of the course was on orbital mechanics, orbital maneuvers, satellite subsystems,
trajectory planning & design and launch systems. The course covered the following main streams of
SMAD: Conceptual mission design, defining top-level mission requirements, mission operational
concepts, mission operations analysis and design, estimating space system cost, S/C design
development, verification and validation and system design review
CubeSat Design Workshop by Dr. Alim Rustem Aslan at ICASE-2019
In this workshop, participant worked in teams leading to designing of CubeSat on the basis of Satellite
Mission and Payloads. During this workshop, the participants identified the requirements of payload,
identified subsystems and their respective properties, selection of sub-systems from Commercial of
the Shelf systems, Mass, Power and Form Factor Estimations for CubeSat, Development of Block
