A guest lecture on “Space Debris Monitoring from Nepal” was organized by the Department of Electronics Communication and Automation Engineering of Khwopa Engineering College on January 9, 2023. Dr. Paolo Marzioli was guest lecturer. He is a Research Associate in Aerospace Systems at University of Sapienza Rome, Italy and his main research topics include Nano-satellite and aerospace payloads tracking and navigation systems; Nano-satellites design and integration and Aeronautical radio-navigation systems.
The lecture was concentrated on Space Debris which can be defined as “All man-made objects including fragments and elements thereof, in Earth orbit or re-entering the atmosphere, that are nonfunctional.”. The possible collaboration path between the researcher, academic institute and students were also discussed in the event.
In the meantime, Dr. Abhas Maskey also had a brief interaction with students. He has been directly involved in seven different satellite (CubeSat) projects placing seven satellites in orbit. This also involves building and launching first satellite of Nepal, NepaliSat-1.
The students from second semester of the Electronics, Communication and Automation Engineering Department and Computer Engineering Department actively took part in the lecture. Head of Computer Engineering Department Er. Bikash Chawal gave vote of thanks to the guests, and Head of Electronics Communication and Automation Engineering Department Er.
