DESCRIPTION:Dr Andrew Ross Wilson\nThe application of Life Cycle Engineeri
 ng (LCE) within the concurrent engineering process presents a viable metho
 d for assessing environmental\, social and economic impacts of space missi
 ons. Despite the importance of this for embedding sustainability principle
 s into spacecraft design\, the novelty of the concept within the concurren
 t engineering process has meant that the approach has not yet been widely 
 implemented. In this presentation\, Dr Wilson will discuss his experience 
 and the challenges of applying LCE within a concurrent design setting. Dra
 wing upon examples and case studies\, he will outline the progress being m
 ade within this field\, and present key findings that are important takeaw
 ays when including LCE as an engineering discipline within concurrent desi
 gn studies of space systems.\n\nDr Andrew Ross Wilson is a Lecturer in Env
 ironmental Management at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU). He holds a B
 Sc (Hons) in Environmental Management from GCU and a PhD in Mechanical and
  Aerospace Engineering from the University of Strathclyde.\n\nAndrew speci
 alises in space sustainability\, with a particular focus on life cycle ass
 essment\, carbon accounting and energy systems of engineering projects. Ho
 wever\, Andrew’s technical background is in environmental management\, a
 nd his work is extremely interdisciplinary. In this regard\, Andrew’s se
 rvices are often consulted by external parties with regard to the assessme
 nt\, mitigation and communication of sustainability issues. This can often
  vary from being very specific and technical-facing\, to being broad and s
 ocietal-facing\, and the range of risks\, impacts and decision-making proc
 esses in between. Ultimately\, his work aims to inform how society can tra
 nsition towards a future that is truly sustainable\, as envisaged through 
 the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.\n\nDue to his contribution to
  science and technological development\, Andrew was awarded the 2018 Young
  Scot Environment Award\, designated one of Junior Chamber International
 ’s Ten Outstanding Young Persons of Scotland in 2019\, won the ESA-EISC 
 Space for Sustainability Award 2021\, and was named GCU Alumni of the Year
  2022.\n
