Preliminary interplanetary trajectory tool
Trada calculates impulsive transfers to all known small bodies in the Solar System by solving the Lambert problem and storing the trajectories on a SQL database. A local web-based GUI allows to search candidate bodies within the user's requirements of time-of-flight, departure trajectory direction and dates, delta v, amongst other settings.
Course on sounding rocket stability and dynamics
This course covers everything from aerodynamics of sounding rockets to flight instability induced by pitch-roll resonance. Examples of topics covered are subsonic and supersonic models of drag and lift of fins and body sections, analysis of flight dynamics, and trajectory simulation.
Cosmic Research
I co-founded and led the engineering team of Cosmic Research, a student rocket team that develops solid rocket motors sounding rockets for peaceful applications.
