EUNKWANG LEE
VP of Propulsion
Former Researcher at Satrec Initiative
Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering from KAIST
Eunkwang Lee is the Vice President of Propulsion, reporting to CEO Seonghyeon Seo. EK is responsible for key design decisions for Blue 1S and Skyblue engines, as well as Perigee's in-space propulsion systems.
As a propulsion engineer, he established the design rule of the pintle injectors and cooling channels for the combustors used in Perigee's methane engines. The design concept of Blue 1S and Skyblue are his own works as well, from flow schematics and component layouts, all the way down to the ignition sequences.
EK's expertise in propulsion system design extends from chemical to ion propulsion. Before joining Perigee, EK worked at the earth observation satellite manufacturer, Satrec Initiative, where he was responsible for the development of ion thrusters and their feed units.
A distinguished graduate of KAIST, EK holds both a Master's and Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering.
