Program Aims To Facilitate Robotic Servicing Of Geosynchronous Satellites
2016-03-29 06:08:26| rfglobalnet Home Page
Hundreds of military, government and commercial satellites reside today in geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) some 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) above the Earth—a perch ideal for providing communications, meteorology and national security services, but one so remote as to preclude inspection and diagnosis of malfunctioning components, much less upgrades or repairs.

Thermal Product Manager Telecommunication Satellites Spacecraft
2016-03-17 14:06:41| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS
. A vacancy for a Telecommunication SatellitesSpacecraft Thermal Product Manager has arisen within Airbus Defence Space in Stevenage. The mission manage and develop a set of thermal products that will enable the internal thermal control of a satellite spacecraft to within 5C, while the external environment is driving temperatures between 150C and 150C. The product management approach is further challenged due to the lack of convection and limited conduction while the satellite is surrounded by deep space at a radiation sink temperature close to absolute zero. You will lead a team of thermal specialists to ensure coherence and continual development of advanced thermal products aligned with and in cooperation with other satellite systems specialists. Once developed you are accountable for continued successful application of the product within the projects environment through to inspace performance. You would join the satellite platform team at a time when Airbus Defence and Space is advancing a new geostationary satellite development programme together with various smaller spacecraft development programmes that are demanding new ways of approaching the problems of thermal control in space. The successful candidate will be subject to UK National Security Clearance in order to undertake related work in accordance with business needs. Your main tasks and responsibilities will include Overall responsibility for the thermal development, justification and maintenance activities including design, strategy, product segmentation, evolution road maps, funding sources, alignment with satellite product objectives and evolving payload capability. Management and coordination of Product Strategy and Definition, Product Development and Improvements, Product Implementation within internal projects and external customers. Maintaining a good overviewnetwork of all relevant European SMEs to ensure active developments in support of the next generation of products. Actively access funding streams such as ARTES in support of development and platform activities. Monitor, support and sponsored applied research development programmes. This role will involve some travel for business and as such you must be able to travel accordingly. We are looking for candidates with the following skills and experience Engineering degree or equivalent. Extensive Project and Product Management experience. Thermal Engineering experience with exposure to both Architectural and detailed Design aspects. Experience in Heat Pipes would be a great benefit, but is not essential for the role. Good industrial awareness required in order to appropriately balance technical, cost and schedule aspects of product development and upgrades. Able to express thoughts clearly and exchange them with other architects and engineers. Able to break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.

Climate deniers lose key talking point as satellites show temperatures hit all-time highs
2016-03-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: February was the warmest month in the satellite record of atmospheric temperatures, according to new data. This is just the first domino to fall during what will likely prove to be the warmest, or one of the warmest, months on record as more data trickles in on conditions during February. The satellite data deals a setback to climate deniers that frequently cite the satellite record of atmospheric temperatures as evidence that human-caused global warming either doesn't exist or is far smaller...
Satellites Report Hottest February By Far, Confirm Global Warming
2016-03-02 21:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: February smashed monthly global temperature records, according to the satellite data analyzed by the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH). At the same time, a brand new study concludes that miscalculations explain why the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) satellite temperature dataset had appeared to show a relatively slow rate of global warming. So Ted Cruz and his fellow climate science deniers need a new meme to replace their satellites find no warming since 1998 talking point, which replaced...
