Your mission
You will be a part of safeguarding space missions! Someone needs to take care of satellites not colliding with each other or with space debris – we are these people. Work with us on the first-ever collision avoidance and frequency coordination framework using the modern technologies and tools the world has to offer today – within and around OKAPI platform.
So far, sustainable spaceflight, such as collision avoidance, is generally performed as externality: Mission plans are derived accounting for payload operations, ground station contacts, loading cycles etc. Interference with third-party objects (space debris, but also other operational satellites) are taken as external factors which interrupt the plan of operations and service delivery.
You will be working on OKAPI:Orbits collision avoidance services and develop them further, to enable customers avoiding interference already on their day-to-day mission planning in an automated way.
Your tasks and responsibilities
Among your tasks, you will be responsible of
- developing brand-new features in Java for OKAPI:Orbits platform,
- being able to have a coffee while discussing the platform architecture,
- enabling and facilitating scientists translating their magic into code and structure
