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. In 2013, ESA received an offer from the National Commission for Space Activities of Argentina CONAE to launch a small satellite with the SAOCOM1b satellite, and to collaborate during the mission exploitation phase. The main SAOCOM1b payload is an Lband polarimetric SAR instrument. This offer, together with previous bistatic SAR mission proposals and science and technical developments during the Earth Explorer BIOMASS mission, provides a unique opportunity to the Earth observation science community and ESA to Demonstrate at global scale the science capabilities of an Lband activepassive satellite constellation through dedicated inorbit experiments. Leverage previous investments in Lband technology and mission studies by ESA and ESA member states. Secure valuable feedback within a short time frame on the scientific potential of Lband SAR mission constellations. The provision of support will follow the developments in the above activities and parallel studies, which mainly consist of the following Planning of L and Cband bistatic SAR missions including mission scenarios definition, mission acquisition optimisation and implications at system level, e.g. regarding operations and ground segment System engineering support at platform, payload and mission level Support to the development of versatile platforms for convoy missions in the range of 500 kg max. with 150 kg payload.
