Karu Esselle

Karu Esselle is a Professor of Electronic Engineering from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2016[1] for his contributions to resonance-based antennas. He was the leader of the design team that designed the high-gain antenna system on board the world's first entirely Ka-band CubeSat spacecraft - Audacy Zero. The space craft was made by Audacy, USA, and launched to space and deployed in December 2018 by SpaceX (USA) Falcon 9 rocket. This is believed to be the first Australian-designed high-gain antenna system deployed in space since CSIRO-designed antenna systems on board Australia's own FedSat satellite launched in 2002.
