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 26 engineers and scientists at ESAC. Overview BepiColombo is a joint ESAJAXA mission to Mercury. The mission comprises two spacecraft, ESAs Mercury Planetary Orbiter MPO and JAXAs Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter MMO. The two spacecraft will be launched in 2017 with arrival at Mercury in early 2024. The activities of the MPO Science Ground Segment SGS include Science Operations Planning of the MPO payload, science data processing and data distribution to the instrument teams, quick look data analysis of science data and archiving of data in the BepiColombo science archive. The MPO SGS has interfaces with the Operational Ground Segment OGS at ESOC, the MMO JAXA Sagamihara Space Operations Centre SSOC, the MPO Instrument Teams and the Scientific Community. The SGS is based at the European Space Astronomy Centre ESAC in Villanueva de la Caada, Madrid, Spain. This service covers activities to be carried out by an Operations EngineerScientist in the area of Systems and Science Operations analysis, design and development. This role requires that deep knowledge of spacecraft and instrument functionalities and performances, as well as science operations methods and processes, is acquired and maintained throughout the duration of the service. This knowledge shall be transferred to the SGS design and development process to ensure that all requirements and the instrument operational needs and constraints are properly accounted for in the SGS definition and system design. Tasks The incumbent shall perform the following tasks Operations Analysis Define, plan and coordinate analyses of instrument and spacecraft operations during NECP, cruise, MOI, nominal and extended orbital missions in the context of the SGS Science Planning System development, testing and operations. Study, prototype and develop asneeded Science Operations Analysis SOA environments, workflows and tools in support of the above analyses. Develop procedures for the usage of SOA environments, workflows and tools, the execution of the SOA related tasks and relevant automation whenever applicable. Analyse available operations modelling tools in the context of the above workflows and develop mechanisms to provide required, unavailable, functionality. Interface with DTEC concerning the update of heritage science operations tools and development of new capabilities, including science operations planning. Coordinate the execution of the Science Operations Analysis activities throughout the SGS. Conduct Operational Constraint Analysis at instrument and system level. Iterate on operations scenarios with the PI teams, ESA Project and OGS, and industry during Science Working Team SWT, Science Operations Working Group SOWG, and other relevant meetings. Develop, with PI teams, strategies for science operations optimization including maximization of datareturn through available SSMM mechanisms. Produce Operations and Constraint Analysis Reports on studied scenarios. Provide support to the Project Scientist, as required, including but not limited to shortterm analyses of specific mission science operations scenarios. Coordinate, with the Project Scientist, the preparation of the mission Science Activity Plan SAP, assisting in the automation of the process where possiblenecessary. Coordinate, with the Project Scientist and SWT the compilation of a Science Traceability Matrix TMX and its interface to an Observations Catalogue. Organise and maintain all information concerning instrument operations deemed necessary for future knowledge preservation.
