Spacecraft Operations Engineer ExoMars power, thermal, mission planning mf The Mission ExoMars is the European mission to characterise the biological and geochemical environment on Mars in preparation for future robotic missions and human exploration. The mission foresees an ESA provided orbiter in 2016 and a Rover in 2018. The Orbiter will be launched in 2016. Following a 9 months cruise it will go into Mars Orbit and perform an initial orbital science phase for one Martian year. Subsequently the orbiter will be the prime source for relay communications for the 2018 Rover and following missions. The Rover Mission will be launched in 2018, transported and deployed to the surface of Mars by NASA provided assets. The Orbiter will be operated from ESOC in Darmstadt, while the Rover will be operated by remote centres under ESAs responsibility. ESOC will also be responsible for the overall mission coordination and communications. The spacecraft control system will be based on SCOS2000 with the support from the ESA and NASA deep space ground station network.
