Spacecraft Controller Copernicus Sentinel1, Sentinel2 mf Ref.Nr. 158548.3 The Mission The Sentinel1 and Sentinel2 missions are part of Europes Copernicus Earth observation space program. The first in the series, Sentinel1, carries an advanced radar instrument to provide an allweather, dayandnight supply of imagery of Earths surface. The first of two spacecraft was launched in 2014. The second, Sentinel2, is a polarorbiting, multispectral highresolution imaging mission for land monitoring to provide, for example, imagery of vegetation, soil and water cover, inland waterways and coastal areas. Sentinel2 will also deliver information for emergency services. Sentine1 and Sentinel2 spacecraft will be operated from ESOC, in Darmstadt, Germany. The Challenge We are looking Spacecraft Controllers to be part of the flight control teams supporting Sentinel1 and Sentinel2 spacecraft operations. The tasks to be performed are those typical for a spacecraft controller, with the following specific responsibilities To operate all or part of the mission system, which may incorporate parts of the ground segment as well as the space segment, as specified for each mission. In preparatory phases or special operations LEOP, deorbiting the Spacon will be required to assist in configuring and testing the operational system to support the operations. The Spacon may be required to develop methods or tools to assist in the execution of the operations, for which heshe is required to become familiar with the mission and the control facilities at his disposal. The Spacon will take part in simulations and prelaunch test campaigns, and in postlaunch refresher training and simulation. During the operational phase, the Spacon will Monitor and control all operational progress, in accordance with the scheduled operations plan, ensuring that safety criteria are respected and that all operations are conducted in accordance with the established procedures Perform specific operations relating to individual missions, as defined in the operations plans, or as instructed by the responsible SOM, SOE or Analyst Immediately inform the responsible personnel when an anomaly is detected, in accordance with the established procedures Take corrective action as necessary, applying the contingency emergency procedures approved for the mission Coordinate with the responsible personnel for any scheduling required Prepare operations reports as requested Assist in the production of printouts, graphs and plots for offline evaluation and analysis Prepare and complete all necessary forms for the daily operations routine. During the operational phase of a mission, the Spacon will be expected to follow regular training and simulations for the inorbit spacecraft. This covers training to keep staff proficient, and training on new operational procedures. Training will be given by a Spacecraft Analyst and Operations Engineer. Regular use of a spacecraft simulator expected. These are full time positions, located at ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany, and starting in the second half of 2015. Working time is normal office hours. Your Qualifications This position requires a good background in a scientific or technical discipline, to the level equivalent to Senior Technician.
