In this episode of the Manastu Space HOD Series, we sit down with Mr. Sajo George, Head of the 'Assembly, Integration & Testing (AIT) Department, at Manastu Space.

Sajo takes us behind the scenes of what it takes to assemble and test a green propulsion system in India’s evolving space-tech landscape. From childhood dreams of working in aerospace to leading high-stakes thruster testing at Manastu’s 'High Altitude Test (HAT) Facility', Sajo shares his 5-year journey filled with passion, precision, and problem-solving.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

- The entire AIT workflow for green thrusters: from assembly → integration → testing
- How teams across departments, from catalyst R\&D to design, collaborate in real-time
- What makes a 'thruster test successful' inside a vacuum simulation chamber
- Importance of environmental, vibration, and thermovac testing
- How report feedback loops lead to perfecting propulsion systems
- Assemble, Integrate & Testing Space Thrusters from Ground-Up
- Life lessons from being the 'final gatekeepers' of thruster performance

Whether you're a space enthusiast, engineer, or just curious about how India’s green propulsion systems are built and tested, this episode gives you a rare look into the heart of hardware execution.
