Projects

• Securing Aeolus Against Atomic OxygenScript development for an ESA documentary exploring how engineers tested protective spacecraft materials for the Aeolus wind-mapping mission against highly reactive atomic oxygen in low Earth orbit.
• Keeping Gaia's MemoryScript development for an ESA documentary about diagnosing a failed onboard memory module during pre-flight testing of the Gaia spacecraft, using non-destructive 3D X-ray tomography to determine the cause of the fault.
• Getting Vega's Launch Tower MovingScript development for an ESA documentary explaining the engineering challenge of moving Vega's mobile launch tower at Europe’s Spaceport. The film explores the materials science, structural engineering and operational requirements behind moving the 1,000-tonne service structure away from the rocket before launch.
