Internship - Ground-based Radar/Optical Observations

With thousands of satellites in orbit, providing us with critical services like telecommunications, geolocation and meteorology, ensuring their safety and the long-term sustainability of the space environment is at the core of our mission. Vyoma's vision is to build Europe's first sovereign space surveillance solution that will be capable of mapping all centimetre-scale space objects orbiting in low-Earth orbit (LEO).

Vyoma's Advanced Concepts Team is driving the development of innovative solutions, researching a wealth of complex problems related to mission design and conceptualization, and exploring emerging technologies in order to maintain our competitive edge in space situational awareness. This includes the development of numerical simulations, the optimization of our observational strategy, and the definition of requirements for our future space telescopes, while also providing insights to Vyoma's other teams.

YOUR FOCUS

We are seeking a motivated intern to support the development of Vyoma’s simulation capabilities. As part of Vyoma’s Advanced Concepts Team, you will work with us for a duration of 3–6 months to:

• Finalise the implementation of a simulator for ground-based space situational awareness (SSA) observations.
• Develop and propose models describing the sensitivity of radar and optical instruments.
• Perform simulations to evaluate and quantify the performance of these models.

This position is based in Munich, and we look forward to meeting you!
