Engineering showcase — Tempe, AZ — Est. 2020
Arkane
Works
Arkane Works is the engineering showcase of Animesh Rajvanshi — mechanical engineer (B.S.M.E., Arizona State University; EIT). The work spans high-power rocketry, autonomous flight, spacecraft concepts, lunar infrastructure studies, and semiconductor metrology. Everything in the index was designed, simulated, built, or certified first-hand — and documented as it happened, including the parts that didn't work.
Active Programs
.01Three programs in development. Disclosure is deliberately limited — details are published when milestones are met, not before.
The flight-vehicle program that carries the AX rocket lineage forward.
Read Brief→A simulation-first study of planetary-surface infrastructure, growing out of the Moon Presence work: power generation and distribution, regolith handling, and the thermal realities of operating machines through a 14-day lunar night.
Read Brief→Extends the SLAM drone work toward small autonomous aircraft that keep their own estimate of the world — state estimation, mapping, and navigation when GPS and lighting can't be taken for granted.
