Summary
Shaker Khan is a Pointing, Acquisition & Tracking Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience in space systems, AOCS/GNC and optical laser communications, currently working at Mynaric in Madrid. He combines embedded software expertise (C, ARM Cortex) with optical test-bench R&D and control-loop design, having led payload software transfers and link-budget/pointing budget development for ESA-backed projects. His background spans real-time on-board GNSS precise orbit determination, electrodynamic tether research that produced widely cited publications, and practical GNSS/EGNOS system implementation for operational demonstrators. Notably, he has bridged academic research and industrial productization—moving concepts from hypervelocity-impact and debris mitigation studies into usable tools and flight-relevant prototypes.
