Job Description Rosetta Science Operations Rosetta Archive Scientist ESA is operating and developing several spacecraft for Solar System body exploration, among others Mars Express MEX, ExoMars2016, Rosetta, Venus Express VEX, BepiColombo and Solar Orbiter. For these missions the science operations is located at ESAC. One of the components of science operations is the task of generating the commands to operate the scientific payload of a spacecraft. Three main entity categories are involved in this task the PI teams having built the experiments, a Mission Operations Center MOC which coordinates the satellite operations and a Science Ground Segment SGS which coordinates the operations of the scientific payload. A second task of the science operations is in the area of downlink and archiving where the success of an observation needs to be tracked and the resultant products from the PI teams archived for access by the planetary community. The Rosetta Science Operations in the RSGS are led by the Rosetta Science Operations Managers in close coordination with the Mission Manager, who has overall responsibility for the Rosetta mission, and with the Project Scientist, who is responsible for optimizing the science return of Rosetta. A basic principle of the Rosetta science operations is the requirement for a strong involvement by each PI team for the preparation of the science operations. The Science Working Team SWT advises the project scientist on science matters for the mission and indirectly assists the RSGS in elaborating science strategies and maximizing the scientific return of the mission. WP1 Archive support for Rosetta Tasks Interact with the PSA coordinator to ensure that Rosetta archive needs are addressed in the area of general PDS and PSA software development. Such interactions shall include the provision of requirements. Interact with the PSA Software developer to check the correct implementation of user requirements Aid in the validation of PSA software specific to the Rosetta mission, including DVAL, PRVV APC, Archive interface. Interact with the PDS for issues specific to the Rosetta mission archive Interact with and provide support to the PI teams in the area of archive product generation, delivery validation Support the archive product validation process including reviews. Expected output Validated archive deliveries from the PI teams Support to the archive process WP2 Specific tasks relevant to Project Scientist support for Rosetta Provide support to the Rosetta project scientist in his role in tracking the execution of the master science plan versus the actual archived process. Provide support to the Rosetta project scientist in his role in ensuring the legacy of the mission through the provision of a populated archive for Rosetta is achieved. Provide support to the Rosetta project scientist Expected output Support to the project scientist in the area of archiving WP3 Specific tasks relevant to Observation Quick Look for Rosetta Provide support to the Observation Quick Look process in the area of tracking successfailure of observations with the delivery of the data for the archive Expected output Support to the OQL process in the area of archiving Travel It is foreseen that the candidates may have to travel to ESA establishments and PI institutes, approximately 46 times per year.
