We are looking forward to meeting you!

What You Will Focus on

You will provide support to activities of the Space Safety Programme and to Clean Space Office ADRIOS and COSMIC missions projects.

You will support mission customers for:

SDM compliance verification analysis tasks in collaboration with the Space Debris Office;
Close Proximity Operations and In-orbit Servicing related tasks;
EcoDesign and Life Cycle Assessment compliance verification analysis tasks

… and contribute to mission milestone reviews for compliance aspects w.r.t. space debris mitigation and Life Cycle Assessment requirements.

You will follow-up external research, as well as OSIP activities and plan/adapt internal work accordingly, support CDF sessions and support the definition and follow-up of the studies for TDE, GSTP, ARTES and other ESA programs in the area of space debris mitigation, space debris remediation and EcoDesign.
