Name: Pooja Lepcha
Nationality: Bhutanese
Major: B.E in Electrical Engineering from College of Science and Technology, Royal University of Bhutan, Bhutan
Role in BIRDS-3 : I am primarily responsible for Electrical Power System (EPS) in BIRDS 3. The main function of EPS is to provide uninterrupted power to on board electronics of the CubeSat both in sunlight and in eclipse.
I am also involved in the Ground station development in BIRDS 2; since my country is a participating country in BIRDS 2. BHUTAN-1 will be the first satellite of Bhutan and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
It is also a great opportunity for me to be part of BIRDS 3 team. I expect it to be intriguing and challenging, and I hope to take back home a lot of experiences, lessons and life long friendships.
