Main activities and responsibilities |
Management of the Sampler, Drill and Distribution (SD2) subsystem, currently flying onboard the lander PHILAE of Rosetta mission. SD2 is devoted to drill the soil of the comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko, collect cometary samples, and distribute them to two evolved gas analysers (COSAC and PTOLEMY) and one infrared and visible sample analyser (ÇIVA). Main activities: development of the mission plans for the cruise and comet phase; laboratory activities to assess the drill behaviour in various drilling, sampling, and sample discharging scenarios; development of optimal strategies for the scientific use of SD2. Deputy manager for the activities related to the thermal-vacuum chamber available at the laboratory of the Department of Aerospace Sciences and Technologies of Politecnico di Milano. Main activities: space qualification tests setup and execution for internal activities and external customer service; research activity devoted to implement innovative model predictive optimal control strategies for the temperature profile during tests. Research activity: · Application of differential algebra and high order methods to space engineering: nonlinear uncertainty propagation in space system and space trajectory design; high order optimal feedback control of spacecraft dynamics; nonlinear preliminary orbit determination and filtering methods; · Space situational awareness: NEO identification and impact risk assessment; orbital debris conjunction analysis · Global optimization of interplanetary transfers: stochastic and deterministic algorithms; validated global optimization methods based on Taylor models Main participations to agencies/industrial contracts: · 2012: Space Situational Awareness - CO-II Architectural Design; Telespazio S.p.A. · 2011: Trajectory optimisation under uncertainties: a differential algebra approach; ESA/ESTEC Ariadna study · 2008: Rosetta E2 Phase - Scientific activity - Mission Operations; Italian Space Agency · 2008: Predicting asteroid trajectories using validated integrators and determining impact leading conditions; ESA/ESTEC Ariadna study · 2007: Global trajectory optimization: can we prune the solution space when considering deep space maneuvers?; ESA/ESTEC Ariadna study · 2006: European Student Moon Orbiter (ESMO): cost analysis; ESA/ESTEC · 2006: Nuclear Multimodule ISRU Mission; Alcatel Alenia Space, Italy · 2005: Assessing the accuracy of interval arithmetic estimates in space flight mechanics; ESA/ESTEC Ariadna study |
