Introduction
Aerospace Engineer and Research Scientist with background in mechanical engineering, structural analysis, material science and liquid rocket engine technology. Gained experience in leading aerospace organizations (ESA, DLR) and companies (Airbus DS, AVIO), working on projects such as: ARTEMIS- ORION ESM, ISS Station, DLR LUMEN, Prometheus Class Engine.
Currently focused on rocket engine design and operation with methods for fatigue life estimation of highly loaded rocket engine components.

The development of modern reusable launchers, such as the Themis project with its LOX/LCH4 Prometheus engine, CALLISTO—a reusable VTVL-launcher first-stage demonstrator with a LOX/LH2 RSR2 engine, and SpaceX’s Falcon 9 with its Merlin 1D engine, underscores the need for advanced control algorithms to ensure reliable engine operation. The multi-rest...
With the development of contemporaneous reusable launchers, including projects such as Themis with a liquid LOX/LCH4 Prometheus engine, CALLISTO - Reusable VTVL launcher first stage demonstrator with a LOX/LH2 RSR2 engine, or Space-X’s Falcon 9 with a Merlin 1 engine, it is essential to further advance control algorithms to secure a failure- free e...
Abstract—Reusability of LREs in Europe is increasingly attracting the attention of scientific community and industry with leading projects such as THEMIS, CALLISTO (reusable demonstrators for vertical take-off and landing (VTVL)) and Ariane Next – all powered by the reusable cryogenic Oxygen/Methane (LOX/LCH4) engine “Prometheus”. To enable further...
To increase liquid rocket engines (LREs) lifetime capability and allow for reusability applications, the efficient evaluation of the most critical subcomponents' remaining useful life plays a vital role. Regeneratively cooled combustion chamber (CC) wall must withstand extremely high loads emerging from a massive temperature gradient between the ho...
The prediction of the fatigue life of a turbine blade requires preliminary fluid dynamics analyses (which are not shown in this manuscript), a structural analysis and finally a HCF analysis. For the structural analysis, two different methods are described in this manuscript: A 0d analysis based on beam theory and a structural 3d Finite Element (FE)...
Nowadays reusability of LREs, represented in projects such as CALLISTO and Maїa (both including the re-usable Prometheus engine), is seen not only as essential in the effort to prepare competitive future European space access, but also sets a new requirement towards high reliability engineering standards. With engine operation life in excess of a s...
The DLR project LUMEN (liquid upper stage demonstrator engine) aims at developing, building and operating a modular LOx/LNG breadboard engine in the thrust range of 10 kN to 30 kN with a total lifetime of more than 7200 s over multiple ignitions [1]. Since these characteristics meet the main requirements for recently proposed lunar lander missions...

Within the presented manuscript the focus is towards maturing damage propagation simulation models of the regeneratively cooled combustion chamber (CC) inner liner, to gain an in-depth understanding of the interactions between influential elements including elevated temperature, cyclic conditions and the fatigue life mechanisms. A coupled thermal a...
Within the scope of the European Green Deal, the aerospace industry is currently staking on sustainability.
To fulfil the objectives and in order to ensure Europe's independent and cost-effective space access capabilities, the ASCenSIon (Advancing Space Access Capabilities - Reusability and Multiple Satellite Injection) project, funded by H2020, i...

OPF - adjusts the trajectory of the Orion using the gravity for an extra boost to reach the trajectory of the distant retrograde orbit (DRO) - spacecraft orbit around a moon that is highly stable because of its interactions with two Lagrange points (L1 and L2) of the planet–moon system.

Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Nov. 16, 2022 at 1:47a.m EST (7:47a.m.CET).

Artemis is the first step in the next era of human exploration, ensuring a sustainable presence on the Moon to prepare for missions to Mars.
Orion is expected to log roughly 1.3 million miles (2 million kilometers), taking a path that will lead it farther than any other spacecraft designed for human flight has traveled. After orbiting the moon, Orion will make its return trip, completing its journey in about 25.5 days. The capsule is then scheduled to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on December 11, when recovery teams will be waiting nearby to haul it to safety.
See the highlights of the first Orion lift-off!
