Summary An experienced and knowledgeable engineer required to support ESA in the Science Operations Centre at ESAC. Objective The Science Operations Centres for these missions, located at the European Space Astronomy Centre ESAC in Spain, are responsible for all science operations planning, data processing and archiving tasks, being the essential interface between the science instruments and the spacecraft, and with the scientific community. Responsibilities Duties Specific tasks will include but will not be limited to Missionspecific SPICE Kernels Preparation This covers the preparation and maintenance of a complete set of SPICE kernels for each mission. This requires a solid understanding of spacecraft and instrument design, and its operations. Close communication with the instrument designers and science operations planners is required to define the necessary kernels. Auxiliary Data Conversion System Development and Maintenance Missions in operations are currently using the ADCS to automatically convert Flight Dynamics products and spacecraft telemetry into SPICE kernels. In addition, as part of a short external contract, the ADCS is being updated to cope with the requirements of the missions under development.These updates are Conversion of the new CCSDS format orbit and attitude products from ESOC Updates of the Spacecraft Clock Kernel based on received Time Correlation Packets Improved software documentation This covers all activities related to taking over the development and maintenance of the ADCS once the external contract is completed.
