It's good practice for working on ESA projects in a professional context ;)

Edit: harsh marking on the risk register. Very realistic practice for dealing with ESA in a professional context! I do like the flowcharts and block diagrams




Haha, that was my thought when looking through it as well!

Not that NASA is any better. I spend a huge amount of time dealing with pedantic RIDs instead of actually implementing the things I am paid to do...


I'm curious, do you work at NASA?


No, I work at another aerospace company (not in the US). But for some projects I have to work with both ESA and NASA.


Woah! We are fortunate to be able to interact with such interesting people. I don't suppose it would be a little cheeky if I asked if you knew anybody I could ask for work experience.


Yeah, that would be cool. Also, are you an actual aerospace engineer? That's awesome!


I'm not an actual engineer, but I do write actual UK Space Agency and ESA bids for a living. UK Space Agency would be kinder on the marking :)


I get you were just showing support, but as the guy who co-wrote the document, could I drop you an email about work experience?


Sure, feel free to send an email to the email in my profile
