Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the universe's origins, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you
We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable space exploration while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA’s largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States.
We have an exciting opportunity for an Orbital Debris Space Traffic Classification and Analysis Internship to join our team with the Science and Exploration Division of JETS II.
*This is a temporary role not to exceed 19 weeks*
This position will work on the JETS-II Orbital Debris Safety Team providing support in the analysis and classification of orbiting space traffic. In order to better understand the source of orbital debris, NASA uses the data such as that provided by the Space Surveillance Network, along with other publicly available resources, to report on and analyze spacecraft and rocket bodies from launch to reentry back into Earth’s atmosphere. This internship will help contribute to NASA’s on-going efforts to monitor and predict the growth and distribution space debris.
The position will\:
Focus on improving the NASA Orbital Debris Program Office (ODPO) space traffic database Support efforts to resolve data discrepancies and inconsistencies in space traffic data Further facilitate unique identifications of satellites (spacecraft and rocket bodies) using class indices, e.g. the Russian GRAU index, and other series-unique identifiers Develop new classifications for spacecraft and rocket body construction using clues obtained from information such as bus or stage descriptions Perform analysis of satellite orbital decay data, examining dependencies to improve the estimate of resident space object ballistic properties Analyze constellation space traffic in order to deduce mission model parameters Work closely with JETS-II Orbital Debris Research & Science Operations (ODRSO) colleagues and NASA ODPO customers Present work products to customers and counterparts (written & verbal) Support and participate in technical meetings Perform other duties as required *Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the universe's origins, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference?
