Summary
Manwei Chan is an aerospace engineer and international space development leader with nine years of hands-on experience bridging research, engineering, and commercial strategy for LEO platforms and scientific instruments. Currently Director of International and Science Development at Voyager Technologies, she has led consortium-building and partnership efforts for Starlab while also deploying technology and operations in extreme environments from the Atacama to the South Pole. Her technical pedigree spans spacecraft systems, flight software, antenna design, and cryogenic telescope operations, plus hands-on PCB and sensor development for microgravity experiments at MIT. Uncommonly, she has single-handedly kept a cosmology telescope operational through a nine-month Antarctic winter and flown her own AgriFuge microgravity experiments on zero-g flights. She combines rigorous academic training with pragmatic field problem-solving and a track record of turning research prototypes into funded, flight-ready demonstrations.
