What does a systems engineer even do? It's a highly valid question. We talk about structure, aerodynamics, on-board computers, sensors, communication systems for rockets and satellites and they are rightly taught as THE necessary technical knowledge in Universities. Systems Engineers exist to bring all these together. Let me try to explain this with two terms that are bread and butter for systems engineers—Requirements and Trade-offs. 

Supernovae are among the most powerful and spectacular events in the Universe, marking the explosive deaths of massive stars. These cataclysmic bursts release immense energy, outshining entire galaxies for brief periods and distributing heavy elements essential for planetary formation and life itself. The study of supernovae has been fundamental in astrophysics, providing insights into stellar evolution, cosmic distances, and the origins of elements.

On15th October 2025, one of my decade-long space dream was fulfilled. I had the incredibly opportunity to host a live session with Dr. James Wertz, renowned for his work on space mission design and attitude determination and control. This was the first time I hosted Hyperbolic Orbits Podcast as a live session, joined by a group of luminary group of professionals and students who are expanding the boundaries of space exploration.
