This seminar will provide a practical overview of how MSC Adams is used within Thales Alenia Space to study multibody dynamics applied to space systems.

Drawing from real-world examples from the Galileo, Sicral3, SpaceInspire, and Copernicus programs, we will show how the software is integrated into systems engineering processes to analyze complex scenarios such as satellite separation, flexible dynamics, and mechanism-control interaction.

The seminar is not intended as a technical lesson on Adams, but rather as an opportunity to explore the strategies, simplifications, and benefits that its use has brought to the industrial sector.

Speakers

Fabrizio Gennari

System Engineer at Thales Alenia Space, specializing in multibody modeling to assess performance and collision risks in satellite separation scenarios. He uses MSC Adams to develop advanced dynamic models and design decision-support tools.

Antimo Colella

System Engineer at Thales Alenia Space, working on multibody simulations for space mechanisms and structures, with a focus on deployable reflectors, flexible dynamics, orbital separations, and sloshing phenomena. He uses MSC Adams to study the interaction between structural dynamics and attitude control systems.

Alessia Nerattini

Multibody Satellite System Engineer at Thales Alenia Space, focused on dynamic and structural analysis of mechanisms for space applications, especially Large Deployable Reflectors. She uses MSC Adams to support mechanical design and validation through simulation. She is also involved in space debris mitigation activities within the Zero-Debris initiative, evaluating collision risks throughout the mission lifecycle.
