Herschel Operations Support Engineer attitude expert

2013-11-05 13:37:09| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

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 within the Science and Robotic Exploration Directorate DSRE. Aurora currently has a team of 18 engineers and scientists at ESAC. Overview The Herschel Space Observatory was launched in May 2009. It performed astronomical photometry and spectroscopy in the far infrared and submillimetre 57670 micron wavelength range. Its scientific payload consisted of three instruments using a variety of detector technologies developed by Principal Investigator teams at various institutions, predominantly in Europe but with a significant contribution from the US. The majority of its observing time was provided to the general user community, via annual Calls for Proposals. Since May 2013, the Herschel spacecraft has had no liquid helium coolant remaining to allow the science instruments on board to operate, hence regular operations have ceased and the spacecraft has been placed into a nonreturning Solar orbit. In the ongoing postoperations phase, the Herschel Science Centre HSC, located at ESAC, is, inter alia, responsible for supporting data analysis improvements, oversight of the calibration and crosscalibration of the science instruments, and the generation of standard science products and their quality assessment as final Herschel archive products. All observational data has been systematically processed to generate these products that are distributed to the astronomical community via the Herschel Science Archive HSA, developed and maintained at ESAC. With the complete set of data from mission operations now in hand it is possible to further improve the calibration and data products in the archive. For this service, the incumbent is expected to perform the following tasks. The priorities of each task and the level to which they are performed will depend on the needs of the observatory plus the capabilities of the successful candidates to understand the general workings of the attitude and control system and how it relates to the accuracy of science products being produced in the standard processing of science instrument data from Herschel to become expert in understanding how the attitude and control operations were performed on board the spacecraft and how they may be improved upon in post processing on the ground with the aim of reducing photometric uncertainties in the analysed data answer helpdesk questions on instrument and spacecraft operations and data products associated with the spacecraft participate in assessing and updating calibration information and in particular pointing information and its use in the standard processing pipelines develop procedures for improving pointing information for all instrument modes of operation. develop methods for handing special pointing problem cases. to participate in acceptance testing of new software perform data quality checking of observations with problematic pointing issues.
