Your mission
In this position you will have the unique opportunity to work on algorithms and products derived from the first commercial flight of a satellite that both observes space debris and surveys the orbital environment. As part of a world-class astrodynamics team your mission is:
- to develop algorithms and software for, amongst others,
- Orbit and attitude determination
- Space-based optical measurement association
- Detection and processing of close approaches between satellites and debris objects
- Satellite manoeuvre detection and estimation
- Collision-avoidance manoeuvre optimisation
- to take responsibility for fast and robust system and algorithm design to enable large-scale data processing
- to maintain an up-to-date overview of latest breakthrough developments in the astrodynamics domain and assess their suitability for existing and future services
- to participate in cutting-edge projections in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission
