From the UK too. Seeing those docs gave me a total whiplash! I remember the amount of paperwork we had to do for these kind of projects. Funny how nothing has changed.
- JohnOfOsgiliath 2y agoYeah. I can't tell you how much time we spent typing in the library. We spent so much time on risk assesment, that we nearly forgot to write about electronics.
- notahacker 2y agoIt'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
- JohnOfOsgiliath 2y agoYeah, that would be cool. Also, are you an actual aerospace engineer? That's awesome!
- notahacker 2y agoI'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 :)
- JohnOfOsgiliath 2y agoI get you were just showing support, but as the guy who co-wrote the document, could I drop you an email about work experience?
- notahacker 2y agoSure, feel free to send an email to the email in my profile
- verzali 2y agoHaha, 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...
- JohnOfOsgiliath 2y agoI'm curious, do you work at NASA?
- verzali 2y agoNo, I work at another aerospace company (not in the US). But for some projects I have to work with both ESA and NASA.
- JohnOfOsgiliath 2y agoWoah! 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.
