JOB DESCRIPTION Responsibilities Duties Tasks In the frame of the SSA program Space Situational Awareness for nearEarth objects, the means typically used to get information of their orbit are radar measurements for low LEO objects and optical measurements telescopes for those objects orbiting at higher altitude. The objects for which we have apriori information of their trajectory via a catalogue, for instance can be periodically followed over long arcs of their orbit, leading therefore to have a good knowledge of their orbital parameters. However, the characterisation of the nearEarth environment requires also gathering orbital information of objects that are not catalogued because they come from a new launch, a fragmentation . For this kind of objects, the classical scenarios where the sensor remains fix give short observation arcs hence poor information about the trajectory. Its therefore needed to get longer observation arcs so as to be able to determine their orbit with a higher degree of accuracy to do so, more complex scenarios must be considered where theres one or several sensor that chases the object right after its acquisition. Qualifications Student MSc Aerospace Specific Knowledge Fortran WHAT DO WE OFFER?
