Job Description:

We are seeking a Master student to join our team at Airbus Defence and Space GmbH to work on a challenging project related to the Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM). The NGGM mission will improve our knowledge about the Earth's gravity field with enhanced gravity gradient measurements.

The mission consists of two identical satellites flying in formation (~200 km apart) and measuring their range variations (precision to a nanometer level) over the orbit, as well as the non-gravitational accelerations acting on them. In addition to the usual Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS), the control system includes the drag compensation and the formation flight in order to allow the two spacecraft to acquire and maintain the link between them.

This thesis focuses on identifying system performance drivers in order to support the system performance analysis by complementing the traditional high-fidelity Monte-Carlo simulation campaigns. This will be achieved by deriving a robust model of the whole system, i.e. an adequate linear analytical model of both spacecraft in their environment including parametric uncertainties.

Your Responsibilities:
  • Understanding of the dynamical behavior of the paired spacecraft of the NGGM mission as formation flying spacecraft using a system of nonlinear/linear equations of motion.
  • Familiarization with the description/formulation of Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) models and probabilistic uncertainties.
  • Derivation and implementation of a LFT model for NGGM.
  • Application of derived LFT model for robustness and sensitivity analysis of NGGM in science operation.
  • Documentation of work.
Requirements:
  • Enrolled as a full time Aerospace Engineering Master student or similar field of study.
  • Skills (Technical or Software)
    • Very good knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink.
    • Very good knowledge of dynamics and robust control.
    • Desired knowledge in rendezvous applications.
  • Languages
    • English is mandatory.
    • German would be an asset.

Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, enrollment certificate.

We support your personal growth and encourage you to apply now.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.
