Aerospace Propulsion Design Engineer

Position: Aerospace Propulsion Design Engineer Location: Navi Mumbai, India Company: Manastu Space About Manastu Space: We are a Space Safety and Logistics Company, using technology to save the Trillion $ Space industry from Debris Pollution in Space . We believe that the problems of Earth can be solved using Space. However, the rapid increase in the number of satellites is also increasing the risk of satellite collision , leading to Debris pollution- making space a dangerous place for other satellites as well as astronauts. To prevent this, we are developing an Agile, Safe, Efficient and Affordable Green Propulsion System with a new fuel, engine and catalyst for the engine to avoid satellite collision in space and prevent Debris Pollution, which can hence be a potential green alternative to the current monopropellant propulsion technology.
