STES specializes in crafting Sounding Rockets for launch at the Spaceport America Cup, hosted by ESRA, the world's largest intercollegiate rocketry competition. In June 2019, STES achieved a remarkable #29 global ranking, competing among prestigious institutions. Their mission involves forming a team of passionate future engineers, building rockets capable of propelling 4kg payloads to significant altitudes, and ensuring safe recovery. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the flight event, prioritizing international student safety. Now, they prepare for the virtual 2021 event and the 2022 flight event, focusing on student-designed and constructed components, including propulsion, structures, avionics, recovery, and payload systems.

The project focuses on designing a 10,000 ft height target high power rocket to participate in SAC, carrying a particle physics payload that detects cosmic ray background radiation using Cosmicwatch - an opensource project developed by MIT.
The project also includes a data aqusition unit to record important flight data locally using an inhouse design flight computer.

APJ-III, Spaceport America Cup 2021 Competition Rocket

SAC competition rocket for 10,000 ft height target category propelled via commercial APCP rocket motor. The design carried an acoustic levitator to study doppler effect induced while transitioning from subsonic to transonic speed.

Load Save, Spaceport America Cup, 2023

LASC competition rocket for 1km height target category propelled via self made L class KNSB rocket motor.

Midnight Sun, Latin American Space Challenge, 2022

Created an NFT marketplace with Solidity for smart contract, IPFS for database, React.js for frontend application which is deployed over Ethereum Blockchain.

NFT Bazaar, Digital Asset trading marketplace with Decentral

Designed a 3U remote sensing cubesat who’s mission is to observe the adverse effects of stubble burning in Northern India over a course of 2 years by capturing hyperspectral images from LEO and transmitting the data to Earth. The cubesat weights 2.31 Kg and has six subsystems: the OBDH (On-Board Data Handling), the ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem), the EPS (Electrical Power Supply), the TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking & Commands), the Thermal Control subsystem, and the Payload.

Oatmeal, Latin American Space Challenge 2022

Lead a team of freshmen engineers to participate in a virtual rocket engineering competition, Latin American Space  Challenge in the 500m height target category. The team came 2nd in their category.

As a part of 3rd year project for my college, I have built a small tool which helps users to identify different images belonging to 10 categories and extract text from an image that are present on the screen. It is based on a CNN Image Classifier Model and Tesseract Engine.
The user has to crop area of interest on the screen and then the tool will perform the chosen function.
