mall satellites play a significant role in the era of information and
communication technology (ICT) and internet of things (IoT). The
advancement in technology today allows the satellites to become smaller
and yet carry greater capacity and capability payloads. Small satellites are
expected to be used for applications in domains including environment,
agriculture, climate change, mapping, navigation and scientific research.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) which has launched over
nine student satellites, is expanding the scope of small satellite launch. The
extension of useful life of these small satellites depends very much on the
ability to provision propulsion capability in these satellites. Hence the current
effort is to develop indigenous capability for the development of nanocarbon
based field assisted electron emitter arrays to be used in field emission
electrical propulsion (FEEP) system for nano satellite.
Nirupama M P is currently working as Faculty at BML
Munjal University. She is a recipient of PhD assistant-
ship under TEQIP and pursuing PhD from Jain Univer-
sity, Bangalore. She received her MTech (Electronics
Engineering) degree from B M Sreenivasiah College
of Engineering, Bangalore and B E (Electronics and
Communication Engineering) from Dayanand Sagar
College of Engineering, Bangalore. She involves her-
self in social work to support and empower women
and children. With this interest in mind she obtained
post graduate diploma in human rights from Indian In-
stitute of Human Rights, New Delhi. She was a Project
Assistant at NAL (National Aerospace Laboratories),
Bangalore, India, during her B E and MTech final proj-
ects. She also worked as Research Scholar and Senior
Research Fellow (SRF) at R V College of Engineering,
Bangalore, India. She has over 10 years of teaching
and industrial experience. Her areas of research in-
clude nanotechnology, aerospace, novel electronics
materials and devices and vacuum nanoelectronics.
