The application of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) within the concurrent engineering process presents a viable method for assessing environmental, social and economic impacts of space missions. Despite the importance of this for embedding sustainability principles into spacecraft design, the novelty of the concept within the concurrent engineering process has meant […]

Professional statisticians can often see issues with, and propose better solutions for, statistical methods that are used in industry; but such proposals often remain unimplemented (and therefore unused) because they are not fully sensitive to the particulars of the application.  The Probability of Collision, a metric used by astrodynamicists to […]

To address the energy and climate crises, renewed interest in Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) is being actively pursued in Europe, USA, Japan, South Korea, and China. The European Space Agency launched its SOLARIS programme in November 2022 to further investigate and mature the feasibility of SBSP through a technology R&D […]

In the context of industrial project, along with quality and industrialisation, the product safety is essential to ensure a control over the project cost and schedule and guaranty the delivery of a product with the level of reliability expected. We propose to explain what a safety analysis is and why […]

Operating on NASA's Mars2020 Perseverance rover between February 2021 and September 2023, the MOXIE experiment (Mars OXygen ISRU Experiment) produced oxygen at night and in the day during both the annual maximum and minimum atmospheric density periods, as well as at many other times during the year. MOXIE is the […]

Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits provide mutability and versatility to optical networks. The ability to implement non-volatile mechanisms onto a standard platform is instrumental in providing zero-energy consumption during the exploitation of a programmed configuration. In this talk, we will see the advancements and challenges of two of the most advanced […]

ESA's Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) has now been operating for over 25 years, contributing to many of ESA's flagship missions. This webinar aims to introduce you to the concurrent engineering approach and how it can help streamline the initial design phase of space missions. Follow the presentation, for an insider's […]
