      Many of the spacecrafts I have worked on have launched and this is a huge achievement to have the spacecraft launch and successfully pass early operations
      GOCE
      AlphaSAT
      Rosetta
      MSG-3
      MSG-4
      METoP B
      ATV Jules Verne
      etc…
      However my biggest achievement I’m now working on, MTG (MeteoSat Third Generation), this is a very large program of 2 missions across 6 spacecrafts. I have worked since 2010 or phase B on this program and we plan to launch in 2021. Once that bird goes up and passes commissioning it will be by far my biggest professional achievement!
