Work Experience:
(2009 - Present) VEGA Deutschland GmbH, Spacecraft Simulation Engineer, Darmstadt-Germany

Swarm Satellite Simulator (SWARMSIM), Customer : ESA/ESOC
Mathematical modeling and implementation in C++ of sloshing dynamics of liquid propellant inside a cylindrical tank and the its resultant influence on the attitude of Swarm satellite. The dynamical equations of the satellite were changed to take in consideration the flexible modes and the torque generated by liquid sloshing. The UML design was made using Magic Draw and the test will be run under Linux using Swarm simulator which use SIMSAT4.

Mission Analysis Tool (MAT), Customer : VEGA Deutschland GmbH
Implementation and test of a numerical orbit propagator using Kepler equations for the planets of solar system. The implementation and test were in C Sharp.

Rosetta Satellite Simulator (ROSELIN), Customer : ESA/ESOC
Execution and fixing system test problems for the payload subsystem of the orbiter on the ROSETTA simulator. The following instruments were tested: Cometary Secondary Ion Mass Analyser (COSIMA), Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator (GIADA), Micro-Imaging Dust Analyst System (MIDAS), Microwave Instrument for the Rosetta Orbiter (MIRO), Optical Spectroscopic and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS), Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer For Ion and Neutral Analysis (ROSINA), Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC), Radio Science Investigation (RSI), Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS). The tests were executed under Linux using SIMSAT4.

Galileo Satellites Constellation Simulator (CSIM), Customer : SCISYS
Implemention inside the telemetry database and mapped to the simulator, the fixed length telemetry packets of the following instruments and units parts of the payload subsystem: Payload Security Unit (PLSU), Navigation Signal Generator Unit (NSGU), Frequency Generation and Upconversion unit (FGUU), Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), Search and Rescue Transponder Assembly (SART), Clock Monitoring and Control Unit (CMCU). In addition, Amine fixed technical problems during the validation of CSIM. Amine resolved problems on propulsion subsystem, SimDyn and PEM, electric power subsystem, payload subsystem, ground station and SCOS reader.

Lisa Pathfinder Satellite Simulator (LPFSIM), Customer : ESA/ESOC
Implementation for LISA PATHFINDER simulator, using C++ and SMI standard, the micro propulsion assemblies (MPA) and drag reduction system (DRS) parts of AOCS subsystem and using for high precision control. The electrical, power, thermal behaviors were simulated. Each part possess a TMTC module for data handling which interface with the on board software through 1553 milbus. All the tests were run under Linux using SIMSAT3.

Herschel and Planck Satellites Simulator (HPSIM), Customer : ESA/ESOC
Execution and fixing problems during the integration test of the following subsystems for Herschel and Planck simulator: attitude control and measurements (ACMS), command and data management (CDMS), space environment (ENV) and telemetry tracking and command (TTC). The tests were run under Linux using SIMSAT3.

Internships:
(04/2008–10/2008) EADS ASTRIUM, Toulouse-France
Within AOCS team, Development under Windows of two software tools. The first tool was dedicated to validate the informations contained in AOCS, maneuver and payload work plans which will be sent to the satellite. The tool recalculate the attitude and maneuver quaternions, angular velocities of the body frame, time execution of the maneuvers, type of the maneuvers and some contraints on paylod subsystem. The second tool was an orbit propagator based on SGP4 algorithm (Simplified General Perturbation) which take TLE (Two Line Elements) as input to estimate the initial value of the orbital elements.
