Engineering Support on Cold Atom Interferometry for Future Missions at ESTEC

2015-05-11 05:04:55| 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 to ESA in the domain of Earth Observation. Happiness of our employees has proven key to obtaining excellent results and a client who also regards us highly for excellent service. Overview The candidate shall provide engineering support within the Future Missions Division EOPSF of ESAs EOP Directorate. Previous EO missions such as GRACE, CHAMP and GOCE have successfully made precise gravity field measurements and improved our knowledge of the geoid, but future followon mission concepts such as GRACE 2 or ESAs Next Generation Gravity Mission are pushing electrostatic gravity gradiometers to their performance limits. Atomic quantum sensors have the potential to drastically increase the performance of inertial measurements. Recent lab results show that it is possible to build a reliable system for the use of atom interferometry on vehicles and for space applications. Cold Atom Interferometry CAI will enable the realization of inertial and gravity sensing payloads with unprecedented sensitivity. A series of CAI studies whose elements are very much interrelated has been planned along a roadmap. In parallel to this, small activities more related to CAI technology have been implemented, particularly to exploit the combination of different kind of accelerometers. The provision of this support will follow the developments in the above activities and parallel studies, and in general the tasks include Reviewing Technical Notes TNs and related documents, and actively participate to progress meetings related to ongoing CAI activities 3 ongoing1 starting mid2015, Supporting elaboration of SoWs for future CAI activities, and subsequent support to the monitoring of the execution of these activities including review of TNs and related documents, Investigating and proposing parallel studies on CAI technology for space applications, supporting interactions with other ESA departments e.g. TECMM and SRES, national agencies and space industry in order to propose more reliable and compact CAI technology, Performing internal studies to assess the results of external activities on CAI, including to define and maintain CAI systemlevel budgets and to perform performance studies. A series of 4 specific tasks have been defined Task 1 Support to monitoring EOP CAI studies Study of a CAI Gravity Gradiometer Sensor and Mission Concepts Started in Feb. 2015 Development of ultravacuum chamber for cold alkali atom chamber experiment Started in Oct. 2014 Laser system Development of CoolingRaman laser source with enhanced operational features Planned to start by mid2015 Hybrid atom electrostatic system for satellite geodesy initiated Task 2 Internal studies on CAI activities Task 3 Preparation on next activities planned in the Roadmap Task 4 Investigation in CAI technology for space application The work is carried out in close cooperation with specialists in the different domains as well as with the scientists andor data users proposing the mission or expected to use its results.
