Occupation or position held

Thermomechanical high gain antenna configuration responsible for scientific satellite Bepi Colombo (ESA mission to planet Mercury)

Main activities and responsibilities

Harmonization of  the needs of satellite high gain antenna taking into account the operational requirements of the mission.

Based on assembly and testing requirements, it included:

-    development of preliminary design taking into account functional and environmental requirements;

-    checking components accessibility, units removal feasibility and respect of stay-out volumes defined for each component;

-    reaching a working compromise between the requirements defined by the different sub components location;

-    keeping track of the configuration updating;

-    identifying the baseline in order to originate antenna drawing tree and interface part list for each equipment;

-    schedule assessment in order to define an effective sequence of components procurement;

-    checking subcontractors units CAD models by implementing them on the main configuration.
