Job description

Your mission
Make space missions sustainable! Develop the first ever collision avoidance and frequency coordination framework with the most modern technologies and tools the world has to offer for the OKAPI platform.
So far, sustainable spaceflight is performed as externality: Mission plans are derived accounting for payload operations, ground station contacts, loading cycles etc. Interference with third party objects, like space debris, but also other operational satellite are taken as external factor which interrupt the plan of operations and service delivery.
