|
Participation to the following ESA programme: · Zero Boil-Off Propulsion System Feasibility Demonstration.: analysis of cryogenic liquid propulsion systems and of interplanetary mission scenarios. Definition of the functional and design propulsion system requirements.
· Active Removal of Space Debris: Expanding foam application for active removal of space debris: comparison among different scenarios concerning the exploitation of expanding foam for the deorbiting of space debris and preliminary platform sizing and design and hazards and risks analyses. This research was conducted in the frame of the Ariadna scheme of ESA.
· D-Orbit: upgrade on a software of low thrust mission analysis. I added to the standard software, already providing several possibilities for simulations of interplanetary and Earth-Moon low thrust transfers, many different orbital perturbation models, an attitude & energy propagation module and a new Graphical User Interface. |
