Name of supervisor: Prof Philip Ferguson
Bio of myself: Elham Banshi is a master’s student in mechanical engineering at the University of Manitoba, supervised by Professor Philip Ferguson. Her research focuses on cold gas thrusters for microsatellites(CubeSat) applications. Elham’s goal is to design a low-cost cold gas thruster, providing the required thrust for de-orbiting from Low Earth Orbit (LEO), attitude control, and collision avoidance. The study aims to overcome the barriers typically associated with such designs in CubeSats.
