Mattia Valenti

I am in charge of the engineering team for the Structure subcontract for Comet Interceptor as Lead Systems Engineer, reporting to the Project Manager; previously I have led the Mechanical-Thermal-Propulsion/Mechanism team (“MTP”) as Systems Engineering Architect for the projects ESPRIT-RM (Gateway-Artemis), HERA, and ExoMars Carrier Module, reporting to the Lead Systems Engineer.

As AIT/AIV Lead I took care of a number of tasks for phase D projects such as SmallGEO HAG1 and EDRS-C, ranging from participating in clean room activities (mechanical and electrical integration, alignment tests, etc), to planning the environmental test campaign and the verification process for the satellites.

My experience in the AIT area started with ATV #3, then EXPERT PFM, and BepiColombo STM and PFM. My main tasks and responsibilities included: - assembly, and integration of the spacecrafts - environmental testing (mass properties, sine vibration/acoustic/shock, Thermal balance-Thermal Vacuum) - optical alignment measurements - MGSE design and testing - writing integration and test procedures and test reports - delegated QA and PA tasks, e.g. preparation of NCRs, TRRs/PTRs, etc

Tutoring and teaching mathematics, analysis, analytic geometry to first and second year students of engineering and architecture.
