Ghattas Akkad: Our start-up aims at designing a CubeSat prototype development kit formed of a 3D printed 10x10x10cm CubeSat skeleton and 4 custom-designed printed circuit boards (power, communication, controller, sensing).
The kit offers numerous advantages: its "turnkey" design greatly reduces the testing and prototyping phase by removing the multidisciplinary barrier. The low-cost modules makes it accessible for everyone. The kit provides an opportunity for everyone (researchers, engineers and hobbyist) to experiment with space applications regardless of their level of knowledge.
GA: For this design the innovative factors are as follows:
GA: I chose ENSTA Bretagne ENSTARTUPS business incubator for both personal and professional reasons. I have obtained my PhD degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, in 2020, from ENSTA Bretagne, under the supervision of Professor Mansour. Additionally, I completed 2 years of postgraduate work at ENSTA Bretagne as a research engineering. Moreover, as of 2022 I have received the position of research follow.
ENSTA Bretagne offers a high-quality professional environment. Firstly, it offers the possibility to interact with the pioneers in embedded systems and space applications. Secondly, it makes funding sources available. I would add that the robotics and electronics programs developed on campus offer access to industrially-used software.
GA: I wish to offer this complete kit, and provide an opportunity for everyone to develop space applications, specifically in countries with underfunded research centers, such as Lebanon, where I live.
Ghattas Akkad is currently an assistant professor in Lebanon working in the areas of embedded systems and machine learning. He is also a research fellow at ENSTA Bretagne, Brest, France.
