  THALES ALENIA SPACE

  • Cannes

  • Pre-graduation internship

    • May 2014 - Nov 2014
    • Cannes

    Created from scratch an analytical thermal model of a spherical satellite fuel tank during its pressurisation phase on the launch pad.Achieved the modelling of the temperature as a function of the pressurisation rate and the propellant ratio during both the heating and stabilisation phases.Successfully correlated the numerical results with 30 experimental configurations with an accuracy of 1°C.Extended the modelling to the case of hemispherical tanks.Implemented a computer programme with a graphical user interface.Published a paper in the French industrial journal "Essais & Simulations".Participated within the Satellite and Platform Assembly, Integration and Test Department in satellite operations as an observer and integrated the constraints and testing methodologies of propulsion subsystems.
