Corba especially appreciated the help given by Assistant Professor of Biology Natalie Nannas, Dean of Admission Peaches Valdes, Men’s Lacrosse Coach Scott Barnard, and Professor of Biology Wei Jen Chang Corba described Chang as “a phenomenal professor and friend throughout my four years at Hamilton [He] was instrumental in fostering my passion for bioinformatics and genetics and I thank him greatly for his constant support and wisdom.” Corba similarly credits his confidence and experience to Nannas and raved about Valdes’ professionalism and advice Coach Scott Barnard was also a constant presence throughout Corba’s career as a lacrosse player “Coach B has helped keep me grounded and process driven throughout my four years at Hamilton,” Corba said “The team culture we have raised based on the pillar of strong work ethic has truly allowed me to keep chopping at my goals and aspirations along the way.” Corba is eager to focus on research and explore New York City and his career “Hamilton provided a great space for me to learn who I was and what I stand for; now I feel ready to test my current fulfilled self against the real world,” he said He leaves current students with this advice: “What makes Hamilton College Hamilton College are the people here My advice is to make the most of every connection you can form because the people here are what makes the college so special as long as you keep your efforts genuine and consistent.” one of many behind the Meteosat Third Generation mission Before Christian Corba fell in love with rockets So when Corba graduated from high school in Rome in 1993 with a desire to become a civil pilot he set his sights on attending the Air Force Academy in Pozzuoli most civil pilots were trained in military academies But his genes prevented him from getting a chance to try Because the cockpits in military planes were so small “A military officer from the Italian Ministry of Defence suggested that I not even apply because I wouldn’t make it past the first round,” said Corba I’m satisfied with how my career turned out Maybe it was even for the better because the military academy has very strict rules and sometimes I’m not so keen on following rules!” Nowadays, Corba is grateful to be able to integrate his passion for flight into his life by working as Launch Service Manager for EUMETSAT. He ensures the smooth launch of geostationary satellites – satellites that remain over the same spot on Earth by moving along with the rotating planet. At the moment, he is focused on tomorrow’s launch of the first Meteosat Third Generation satellite From liasing with people from the European Space Agency working on the launch campaign Corba has been busy navigating the unique challenges that launching this new spacecraft brings The first challenge he worked on was ensuring that the satellite will stay in the launcher “The external geometry of the satellite should fit inside the fairing It’s basically a shield that protects the spacecraft during the first phase of its journey when the satellite travels through the air in the atmosphere,” explained Corba “We used a computer model to check that the satellite fits inside the fairing We checked for places where any part of the satellite protrudes beyond the allowable volume of the fairing This is tricky because you also need to consider what we call the dynamic envelope – even when the rocket is being launched and there is a lot of vibration no part of the satellite should protrude beyond the limit.” Many other factors during launch need to be anticipated to make sure the satellite arrives safely in its orbit nearly 36,000km above the Earth These include the vibration due to the rocket’s acceleration the pressure that comes from the noise during liftoff and the drastic drop in temperature the satellite must withstand during its ascent Corba is responsible for making sure the satellite will be able to stand up to all these threats in addition to ensuring that the metal belt that attaches the satellite to the launcher will hold the satellite in place during launch and not damage it when springs in the launcher will propel the satellite away from the rocket Years of liaising with partners and service providers, managing the launch contract, and overseeing the launch campaign itself, will culminate tomorrow in the launch of MTG-I1 from the spaceport in Kourou Corba will be on alert in the Jupiter II control centre ready to ensure that everything goes according to plan Anticipating tomorrow’s launch makes him think back to the rush he felt watching the launch of Meteosat 10 in 2012 “It was very emotional to see a launch for real for the first time I was in the satellite control room and when it was close to the final ten seconds I ran like crazy into the parking lot and looked up the noise from the engine arrives a bit later It doesn’t create any vibration but I felt it inside especially as a person who was always passionate about rockets,” said Corba “It was unbelievable to see something you’ve worked on so hard Gareth Williams leads the Flight Operations Division Alexander Schmid leads the Meteosat Third Generation programme Quality Assurance Manager Maria Jose Marquez MTG - one of the most innovative geostationary meteorological satellite systems ever built Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here You are using an outdated browser.

However, with electric vehicles being rolled out Another key advantage of solar carports is that they do not change the use of the land on which they are installed where regulators and the public are particularly sensitive to the integration of PV in the landscape,” said Neoen’s Moutarlier adding it makes sense to install solar in built-up and naturally degraded sites “Ground mounted solar in some parts of the countryside is already meeting opposition but we so far have never heard anyone complain about installing a solar panel on their car park,” she said More articles from pv magazine Solar car parks make massive sense for a place to product the PV They are usually next to businesses that can use the low cost electricity they will feed the EV’s of the future and they protect the cars from sun and rain and so on which is nice for the customers and we will soon see these with EV charging readily available plus energy storage added in to optimize the self-consumption and better integrate (plus make money) with the grid People working or shopping or “doing things” Whatever they are doing they are likely using electricity including (in future at least) A solar car park will be close to those people and (therefore) consumption they will be charged sufficient for the next day Cars are shaded in solar parks so air conditioning is less needed during warm days which saves a fair bit of energy until the passenger compartment is cooled to desired temperature the largest is Volkwagen shanghai Ningbo it will be 55 hectare as planned but can be more than 70 hectare Please be mindful of our community standards and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" By submitting this form you agree to pv magazine using your data for the purposes of publishing your comment Your personal data will only be disclosed or otherwise transmitted to third parties for the purposes of spam filtering or if this is necessary for technical maintenance of the website Any other transfer to third parties will not take place unless this is justified on the basis of applicable data protection regulations or if pv magazine is legally obliged to do so You may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future in which case your personal data will be deleted immediately your data will be deleted if pv magazine has processed your request or the purpose of data storage is fulfilled Further information on data privacy can be found in our Data Protection Policy Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" This website uses cookies to anonymously count visitor numbers.
