Welcome the Manastu Space HOD Series, where we bring you stories from the brilliant minds behind India's most advanced green propulsion systems at Manastu Space.
Featuring: Dr. Suman Vadla, Head of Metallurgy, Manastu Space
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Suman Vadla: A PhD in Materials Engineering from NIT Rourkela, now leading the Metallurgy Department at Manastu Space. From childhood dreams of working in science to leading R&D in one of India's most promising space-tech startups, Dr. Suman Vadla's journey is a testament to passion, precision, and purpose.
🚀 What to Expect in This Episode:
- How Dr. Vadla and his team selects and tests materials for space-grade performance
- Understanding the challenges of storing hydrogen peroxide and achieving compatibility in extreme space conditions
-Critical process: from literature review → simulation → experimental setup → surface treatment
- How advanced screening tools like ACM, XRD, TEM help eliminate unsuitable materials early
- Importance of reducing tank pressurization and improving long-term material behavior in orbit
- Why he believes clarity in expression is one of the most underrated scientific skills
His vision: A dedicated lab to synthesize and develop new-age materials for next-gen propulsion systems. Space demands performance under pressure. Our job is to make sure materials don't just survive, they thrive.
🎯 Watch till the end to hear his unique perspective on teamwork, transparency, and what it takes to make the future of green space propulsion possible.
