Space Environ and Effect Analysis Engineer MF SEEAESERV201610ESTEC001 The work will be performed at the European Space Research and Technology Centre ESTEC in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. The successful candidate will join the Space Environment and Effects Sections that supports ESA and European space mission development with investigations of space environments and their effects on space systems. Tasks and Responsibilities Main activities of the section are Application of many different models and software packages to analyse the effects that space environments e.g. chargedparticle radiation, plasmas, micrometeoroids space debris, atomic oxygen, geomagnetism may have on ESA missions. Development, adaptation, use and interpretation of the various models and tools and software development of associated graphical and other utilities, including WWW applications. Inorbit measurements of environmental parameters energetic particles, microparticles, plasmas are used to investigate local spacecraft conditions and to develop models of these environments for use in future mission planning. Tasks will contribute to the analysis of some of these data, derive relevant parameters to compare with existing models for validation, and ultimately lead to improvement of the models. Tasks will also involve contributions to the design, development, testing and calibration of the equipment for inorbit measurements. Natural energetic particles in space interact with components, detectors, astronauts, etc. causing a variety of problems.
