About Manastu Space

We believe that due to limited resources on the planet, there is a need to look out for an alternative to solve our problems, and that another side is space. This option is viable only if we have low-cost and sustainable access to space. Manastu Space is working with the exact vision of reducing the cost of access to 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.

Key Responsibilities:

• Utilize equipment and techniques to shape catalyst materials into granules, trilobes, and Single Structured Catalyst etc. according to specific project requirements.
• Engage in various day-to-day activities related to catalyst shaping, including material preparation, equipment setup, and routine maintenance.
• Ensure adherence to established protocols, Safety and standards for quality and consistency in the shaping process.
• Assist in enhancing efficiency, productivity, and performance of shaping processes by proposing and implementing improvements in equipment setup, operating parameters, and workflow.
• Utilize CAD or SolidWorks software to assist in the design of equipment, fixtures, or prototypes related to catalyst shaping and processing.
• Compile and organize experimental data, prepare comprehensive reports, and present findings to the research team.
• Utilize characterization methods and Experimental Data to analyze the Structural, Thermal and Mechanical properties of differently shaped catalyst.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related field.

Knowledge and Skills:

• Proficiency in CAD, SolidWorks software and Scientific software.
• Familiarity with laboratory equipment and experimental procedures.
• Basic knowledge of characterization techniques.
• Enthusiasm for learning and exploring new technologies, techniques, and concepts in a dynamic research environment.
• Proven ability to excel both independently and collaboratively within a high-performing development team.

Benefits:

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects in the field of materials science.
• Mentorship, guidance and Networking With experienced researchers (like ISRO scientist, IIT professors and so on)
