ESA's Concurrent Design Facility checks top-level design

The Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with a network of computers, multi-media devices and software tools, which allows a team of multi-disciplinary experts to apply the concurrent engineering method to space mission design. It facilitates a fast and effective interaction of all disciplines involved, ensuring consistent, high-quality results. Here Hugo Brunsveld van Hulten, ESI entrepreneur, is seen working with ESA experts at the CDF in December 2003, on his technique to fight breast cancer.
