Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in Modelling of Autonomous Target of Opportunity Operations

2017-09-27 12:12:10| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of Operations. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in Modelling of Autonomous Target of Opportunity Operations This post is classified F2. Location ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany Our Division and Mission The postholder will be based at the Operations Department at ESOC and will work for two Divisions in particular The Astronomy and Fundamental Physics Mission Division OPSOA, responsible for the definition and preparation of operational ground segment and the execution of astrophysics and fundamental physics missions. This includes, on the one hand, defining requirements for the ground segment needed for individual missions and verifying correct implementation on the other hand, planning and executing all mission operations from launch to endofmission. The Division covers a variety of missions which are either in preparation, like Euclid, or in operations phase, like XMMNewton, INTEGRAL and Gaia. XMMNewton, for example, is an Xray observatory that combines the largest mirror assembly ever flown with advanced detector technology such as CCD cameras and highresolution grating spectrometers together with an optical monitor. It observes cosmic objects like black holes, active galaxies and supernova remnants. The Studies and Special Projects Division OPSOS, responsible for Definition Phase studies for ESA missions and managing services provided to external customers. It also prepares and executes specific special projects, developing innovative operation concepts and technologies for future missions and coordinating cooperative activities with Member States in the flight operations field. The research topic of this vacancy falls under the joint responsibility of OPSOA and OPSOS, since the topic benefits from input from future missions and longterm experience from current ESOCoperated missions. As such, it will be supervised jointly by both Divisions. It is also expected that interaction with ESTEC projects, Science Operations and industry may be required. Candidates interested are encouraged to visit the ESA website www.esa.int Fields of activitiesresearch Modelling of incremental increase of autonomous Target of Opportunity operations ToO for astrophysical missions and its implications for exploration mission operations. Target of Opportunity ToO operations are a classic mission operations topic applicable to different types of astronomy mission. Execution of ToOs currently involves various operational software systems that need to be used to evaluate, replan, reorganise and execute unplanned operations requests at short notice. Similar issues also exist for other mission families. This study aims to evaluate different options for an incremental increase of autonomy in the full endtoend process, eventually including all mission data system components i.e. SOC, MOC FCT, MPS, FDS as well as ground stations and satellite systems. A concept and suitable mathematical computer models will be developed for this purpose. As a first test case, the model could then be applied to an AthenaXIPE ToO study or other suitable missions. Experience from other missions like Swift and INTEGRAL, which have implemented partially automated ToO operations, might also be used as a baseline for further gradual automation of spacecraft andor ground processes. This could ultimately lead to a fully autonomous decisionmaking process triggered by an external ToO andor, potentially, an onboard allsky monitor. The models developed could be initially tested on existing operational SC and subsystem hardware simulators, which currently do not include ToO functionality, with the aim of acting as a development environment for future simulators. The research should also take into consideration integrating a crowd consortium groundsatellite network, analysing its feasibility and the potential reduction in reaction time for the ToO. Continuous interfacing between currently operated missions, future mission preparation and mission development down to spacecraft and ground subsystem level should support the growth of this study. Various iterations are intended to actively increase the flexibility and reliability of the models. The model finally developed should also attempt to address the fundamental practical limit to which the autonomous ToO can be reasonably implemented, based on resources and technical constraints, and trade off the various levels of autonomy achieved by each iteration. This could then, selectively, be followed up and more rigorously detailed by individual projects and Divisions.
