I presented our research paper, "Design of an Exact 3U-size CubeSat Mockup for Air-Bearing Based Testing," at a conference focused on aerospace innovation. Our presentation detailed the manufacturing process of a passive 3U CubeSat using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing, which enables rapid, low-cost prototyping.

 

This CubeSat is designed for studying frictionless dynamic interactions, a crucial step toward advancing collaborative space robotics and satellite servicing technologies.

 

Beyond the presentation, I engaged with engineers from around the world, exchanging ideas and learning about their cutting-edge projects. The opportunity to hear from guest speakers—experts in aerospace engineering and robotics—was particularly inspiring. Their insights broadened my perspective on global challenges and innovation in space technology.

 

This experience expanded my understanding of what it means to be a Global Citizen Scholar. It taught me that global citizenship involves contributing to technological advancement that benefits humanity and fostering collaboration across borders. It also reinforced the importance of continuous learning and knowledge-sharing as essential elements in addressing complex global problems. Through this experience, I became more committed to using my skills to solve real-world challenges while promoting a spirit of international cooperation.
