Nicholas Crisp

Nicholas Crisp is a Lecturer in Aerospace Systems at The University of Manchester, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. His research focuses on Space Systems Engineering and Orbital Aerodynamics, with an emphasis on electric propulsion, satellite design, and space sustainability. Crisp holds a BEng and PhD in Aerospace Engineering from The University of Manchester and is actively involved in projects related to small satellites, space weather monitoring, and sustainable space technologies. He is open to discussing PhD study in these areas and welcomes inquiries from prospective students.

Nicholas H Crisp is a researcher at the University of Manchester specializing in Satellite Systems Engineering. His work focuses on the design and analysis of satellite systems for Earth observation missions, particularly in very low Earth orbit (VLEO). He has contributed to the development of advanced propulsion systems, such as atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP), and has explored aerodynamic interactions for satellite control and drag reduction. His research includes system modeling, mission scenarios, and the use of experimental satellites like SOAR for aerodynamic coefficient measurements. Crisp's work addresses challenges in satellite deployment, formation flight, and low-altitude operations, with an emphasis on improving satellite performance and mission sustainability.
