Mahhad Nayyer works on space systems and policy topics, including how satellites and orbital traffic are tracked and managed, standards for spacecraft operating near each other in orbit, and applications of space technology such as maritime surveillance and flood monitoring. Recent work also touches on space exploration analog facilities and youth engagement with responsible behavior in outer space. This research blends technical space engineering concerns (like orbital tracking and satellite constellations) with organizational, policy, and governance questions about the space industry.
