Aurora is an established supplier of skilled manpower to ESA and in particular at ESTEC and ESAC. Aurora has the opportunity to expand our support to ESA in the domain of Earth Observation. Happiness of our employees has proven key to obtaining excellent results and a client who also regards us highly for excellent service. Overview Within the Future Missions and Instruments Division EOPM, the Technology Coordination and Frequency Management Section EOPMT is responsible for two following main tasks First, the identification of technology requirements for future Earth Observation EO missions. A solid collaboration with the other sections of the division and with other divisions in the EOP directorate and ESAs technical directorate is essential for this work. The nature of the work requires a wide knowledge in engineering disciplines with a natural inclination for learning and understanding new technologies in connection to EO space systems. Second, the analysis and monitoring of the evolution of frequency needs for EO missions, including early concepts and potential interference conflicts with other communication services sharing the spectrum. The Contractor will provide engineering support in the area of EO Technology Development for the following tasks Support the identification of the technology requirements for future Earth observations missions, covering the whole spectrum mainly platform and ground stations network, but also support to optical and RF instruments Provide support to technology developments for future EO missions, in particular for the standardisation of the platform and for the communications with the ground segment Initiate, conduct internal studies and support the review of the results of industrial activities and in the area of technology development and modelling of endtoend system e.g. data flow, technical budgets or onboard subsystem aspects Support the definition and monitoring of missions under preparation through, e.g. participation to reviews, assessment of industrial results, evaluation of proposals in reply to calls, including subsystem performance analyses or technology maturity aspects Support the EO technology observatory function outside the EOP Directorate e.g. ESA Technology Harmonisation, ARTES, and also outside ESA e.g. other space agencies, Horizon Europe in the EC, commercial initiatives under NewSpace, and the potential spinin from nonspace sectors Support the interaction within ESA and also with ESAs Member States on EO future technologies e.g. through dedicated information days Building up relevant IT repositories with information about technology developments or new mission concepts of relevance to Earth Observation.
