2018-05-07 18:27:20| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS
Start your mission with DLR. The German Aerospace Center DLR has a dual mandate as the national research center for aeronautics and space, and as the space agency of the German federal government. Approximately 8,000 people work for DLR on a uniquely diverse range of topics spanning the fields of aeronautics, space, energy, transportation and security research. They collaborate on projects extending from fundamental research to the development of the innovative applications and products of the future. If the idea of joining a topclass team of researchers working in a supportive, inspirational environment appeals to you, then why not launch your mission with us? For our Department of Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems at the Institute of Space Systems in Bremen we wish to recruit for the Development of Technologies for Navigation Systems for Space Applications Four Engineers in the Field of AerospaceSpace Engineering, Control Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, or similar Your Mission The Institute of Space Systems in Bremen designs and analyzes future spacecraft and space missions launchers, orbital and exploration systems, and satellites, and assesses them with regard to their technical performance and cost. It applies stateoftheart methods of multidisciplinary engineering in system design and analysis for example, a computerized system for concurrent design. The Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems Department focuses on the capability to analyze, design, develop, implement, simulate, test, and verify attitude and orbit control systems AOCS guidance, navigation, and control GNC systems for space applications and their components. This involves a range of disciplines, including requirements management, systems engineering, algorithm development, software implementation, systems analysissimulationverification, and hardwareintheloop testing. The GNC Systems Department is also conducting research and development of promising and strategic technologies for AOCS and GNC systems. The GNC Systems Department is involved into the Mission to the Moon of PTScientists, the first European Moon landing mission, as an official partner. The mission objective is to be the first private company to safely land a spacecraft on the Moon, to explore the area around the Apollo 17 landing site with two rovers, and to send pictures and videos down to Earth. In the frame of this project, the GNC Systems Department leads the development of the GNC subsystem as scientific partner. The work comprises the development of optical navigation technologies, the controller synthesis for descent and soft landing, the optimization of the landing trajectory as well as the comprehensive verification of all associated elements. Within this context, we are looking for a scientific staff member to conduct the following tasks within the Navigation Research Group Development of strapdown integration algorithms for inertial measurements in scenarios such as space transportation, operation in the vicinity of Earth and other planetary bodies, and landing on the Moon, Mars, and asteroids Development of navigation filtersdata fusion algorithms with the focus on the combination of inertial measurements and measurements of GNSS receivers, cameras, star trackers, altimeters, Sun sensors, etc. Modelling of realistic environments, dynamics, and sensor signals Full characterization of inertial sensors Integration and utilization of sensors such as cameras, IMUs, etc. in a realtime environment Projectactivity results documentation, presentation, and publication Commitment to group activities such as maintenance and development of laboratories, development and improvement of procedures, knowledge management, or acquisition of external funding Your Qualifications Required Successfully completed university degree on masters level or equivalent according to 7 II Tarifvertrag ber die Entgeltordnung des Bundes TV EntgO Bund in the domain of aerospacespace engineering, control engineering, mathematics, computer science, or similar Practical experience in methods of sensor data fusion and state estimation KalmanFilter Knowledge in the area of inertial navigation and GNSS navigation Good programming skills in C, C, MATLABSimulink Fluent in written and spoken English, ideally with work experience abroad Experience with scientific publications articles in peerreviewed journals, conference contributions, etc. Conformance with the personal requirements for handling of export controlled goods and information according to German, European and American export control laws Willingness to domestic and international travels on official business Desired Knowledge and Experience Practical experience with methods of inertial navigation Modelling of space vehicle dynamics in the vicinity of Earth and other planetary bodies Modelling of inertial sensors accelerometers and gyros Strapdown integration algorithm implementation for measurements of inertial sensors in several types of reference frames EarthCentered EarthFixed, Inertial, Local, etc. Estimation of sensor parameters Experience in modelling complementary sensors such as GNSS receivers, cameras, star trackers, altimeters, Sun sensors Experience in methods of parameter estimation Experience in handling hardware PhD in the area of INSGNSS navigation is an advantage Supervision of Bachelor or Master theses Mastery of written and spoken German is an advantage Your Benefits Look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development. Our unique infrastructure offers you a working environment in which you have unparalleled scope to develop your creative ideas and accomplish your professional objectives. Disabled applicants with equivalent qualifications will be given preferential treatment. Apply via DLRs website.

An inter-university team suggests that the moon's mantle was once a tumultuous sea of magma. The post The Moon May Have Once Had a Magma Ocean Beneath the Surface appeared first on ExtremeTech.
Whats wrong with the hog market? Its the supply
2018-05-07 11:00:00| National Hog Farmer
Hog supply will tighten seasonally as warm weather has its impact, but year-on-year increases will remain large through the end of 2018 and in to 2019. Supplies for the first half of 19 are already pretty well programmed.
