ABOUT

Jits Doomen

Independent researcher and programmer exploring orbital mechanics, space systems and computational physics.

PROFILE

Research & engineering

I work independently on technical questions in physics, aerospace engineering and space systems.

My work focuses on understanding how physical principles translate into practical engineering systems. I use mathematical modelling, numerical simulation and software development to investigate problems that range from orbital dynamics to large-scale space infrastructure.

Much of my research begins with a conceptual question and develops into a quantitative model. The aim is not simply to produce a concept, but to identify the physical constraints, assumptions and engineering bottlenecks that determine whether an idea could work.

RESEARCH AREAS

What I work on

Orbital Mechanics

Studying orbital dynamics, perturbations, propagation methods and the behaviour of spacecraft under different gravitational and environmental conditions.

Space Systems

Developing and analysing concepts for spacecraft, habitats, transportation infrastructure and other systems intended for long-duration space operations.

Computational Physics

Building software and numerical models to explore physical systems that are difficult to investigate analytically.

Future Space Infrastructure

Investigating large-scale concepts such as orbital transportation systems, lunar infrastructure and megascale energy systems.

METHOD

How I approach research

01 · PHYSICS

Start with the physical model

I begin by identifying the relevant physical laws, constraints and assumptions before developing a technical solution.

02 · COMPUTATION

Turn assumptions into models

Where analytical solutions are insufficient, I use numerical simulation and software to investigate system behaviour.

03 · VALIDATION

Look for weaknesses

Results are tested against physical limits, alternative assumptions and independent feedback wherever possible.

04 · DOCUMENTATION

Make the work reproducible

Research, calculations, software and supporting material are documented so that the underlying reasoning can be inspected and developed further.
