Position Reference 696 On behalf of ESA, we are currently looking for a Project Scheduler to work in its Site ESTEC in the city of Noordwijk, The Netherlands. The key person will report directly to the Human Spaceflight and Robotic Exploration HRE Head of Project Control and will work on a daily basis with the project controllers and project teams of the OrionESM, IHAB and ESPRIT projects. ESA missions are at the forefront of human exploration. Building on a strong heritage in human spaceflight and the successful ISS and ATV programmes, ESA in collaboration with its International partners have turned their gaze to deep space and have laid the foundations for the journey to Mars. The first exciting step on this journey is returning humans to the Moon and establishing a sustainable human presence in deep space, which will be achieved through the Artemis Programme. The European Service Module ESM is ESAs contribution to the Orion vehicle, which will shuttle humans to and from the Moon. It will dock with a new space station known as the Gateway, the portal through which humans can access different landing sites on the Moon. It is also a safe haven, a facility for science and robotic surface operations as well as refuelling depot for lunar landers. ESA is providing the IHAB module, which is the habitat housing four crew for up to six months, and the ESPRIT module, which provides vital communications and the refuelling capabilities. The destination is no longer Low Earth Orbit, but deep space. First stop is the Moon driven by the Artemis programme, with vehicles like the Orion crewed spacecraft and large, space stationlike facilities like the Lunar Gateway, for which ESA will provide the IHAB and ESPRIT modules. Overall, this infrastructure will provide repeated access to the surface of the moon, both for astronauts and rovers. Initial goal is to retake lunar scientific exploration with much newer means and instrumentation, but the final goal is to build the experience and confidence to eventually send humans to the surface of Mars.
