The institute space operations and astronaut training is the central institution for German spacecraft missions — ranging from satellite missions for Earth observation, communications, and space safety, to human spaceflight, high-altitude research, and exploration. In addition, we are developing innovative technologies to ensure the success of even the most challenging space missions of the future. What to expect The position belongs to the mission planning group, which deals with the development and construction of systems, in particular with planning the activities of ground segments and satellites in the orbit and their payloads. Future earth observation missions, the support of constellations including optical communication or the operation of a rover on other planets and moons pose particular challenges in terms of planning and system architecture. These requirements must be analyzed, the feasibility demonstrated and finally the mission planning software system implemented and operated after satellite launch. Complex interrelationships and dependencies in the development of a mission planning software system and its interactions via internal and external interfaces as well as the underlying user requirements are part of the description. Another important aspect is the development and ongoing further development of generic components and services and the testing of new technologies.
