Development, and preliminary discussion with ESA of possibilities of characterizing the “demiseability” of different materials, equipment and assemblies by using testing carried out during the recurring re-entry of each Vega Launcher mission (critical input parameter for carrying out the debris/ safety control analysis relevant to Satellite/ Upper stages)
Development of Spin-off plan for advanced technologies toward “not-space” business areas.

Consolidated experience in Launch Systems development with the management (as Vega General Manager) of the ELV team under contract with ESA for the Vega launcher development, qualification and 1st flight up to the System Design Review.
Responsible for the development of Risk Analyses and for the definition of the New Initiatives.
Development of Vega Upper Stage introducing debris control limitation (in particular adopting a “demise design” in order to comply with a uncontrolled re-entry transient) and enabling its utilisation for In Orbit Testing after the separation of the Primary PL
