EPS	Key Tasks: 1. Develop operation procedure for operating the available EPS CubeSat components in the cleanroom. 2. Power budget calculations. 3. Study and derivation of a test plan for solar panel testing.
COM	As part of the Communications team, you'll make sure that we will be able to reliably and routinely contact EventSat to retrieve scientific and housekeeping (telemetry) data, as well as to telecommand it. You'll become familiar with the concepts and theory of wireless communications, and be able to work with real satellite hardware such as transceivers and antennas. Key Tasks: 1. Data Budget: define the amount and regularity of data exchanged to (telecommands) and from (science data, telemetry) the spacecraft. 2. Link Budget: determine the transmission powers, frequencies, bandwidths, and other parameters of the radiofrequency link to guarantee proper reception of signals. 3. Digital Modulation and Coding: define the digital modulation as well as coding schemes that will be used with the data. 4. Communication Protocols: define the communications protocol stack that will be used to encapsulate the data. 5. Implementation: write the C/C++ code implementing the logic of the communications system and configure the transceivers accordingly. 6. Testing: test and verify the proper functioning of the system in a laboratory setting.
Infrastructure	Infrastructure Team responsibilities: - Cleanroom management - Hardware management - Mission Control Center and Operations Infrastructure (together with Ground Station Team) - IT Services, Server, databases, ...
Ground Station	As part of the Ground Station team, you will work closely with stakeholders in the Department of Aerospace to set up requirements for a common Ground Station solution to be placed in Ottobrunn that will allow us to communicate with our EventSat satellite during overpasses. Additionally, you will explore the offers of Ground Station as a Service (GSaaS) providers like Leaf Space and AWS to use them either as our main gateway to the satellite or as a backup to the Ottobrunn Ground Station. Key Tasks: 1. Explore Ground Station Turnkey Solutions from providers like Alen Space, FOSSA Systems, or ISIS Space. Perform a preliminary selection of the solutions and communicate to the ASG/Ottobrunn stakeholders. Estimate cost, and performance, and elicit technical requirements. 2. Explore the regulatory landscape to install new GS solutions in the Ottobrunn campus, and prepare a plan to make sure all procedures are set and executed on time for the satellite LEOPs. 3. Explore Ground Station as a Service solution from providers like Leaf Space and AWS, estimate cost, and performance, and preliminary select one solution as a main or backup gateway. 3. Coordinate internally with the Operations and the Communications teams to make sure that the ConOps and the communication capabilities are aligned with the deployed Ground Station solutions.
Operations	As a part of the Operations Team, you will be responsible of the: 1. ConOps Development: Design and finalize the concept of operations. 2. Mission Planning & Automation System: Create and test softwares to plan the mission operations and to automatize the operations on ground throughout all the mission. 3. Procedure Development: Create and test procedures for ruotine and contingency operations for all mission phases. 4. Mission Control System (MCS) Development: Create a MCS capable of processing and visualizing science data and housekeeping telemetry to monitor for anomalies. 5. Tools Development: Create tools for optimizing and symplifying the planning of routine operations. 6. Fault Detection and Isolation: Interface with the OBC and FSW Team to configure and design the FDI system.
Structure	Key tasks: 1. Work on assessing the structural dynamics of the system. 2. Structural analysis of the payload 3. Structural connection of the payload with the Cbesat structure 4. Design of components for vibration testing 5. Vibration testing of the electronics, payload and the full satellite
Thermal	Key tasks: 1. Thermal tests during operations of OBC and Nvidia Jetson, in lab conditions and vacuum conditions 2. Thermal analysis for additional constraints imposed by thermal coupling/uncoupling 3. Analyse thermal requirement and possible threats
Payload	Key Tasks: 1. Improvement of the optical testbed with the objective to reduce reflectivity and noise. 2. Integration of the optical testbed in the CubeSat bus system. 3. Definition of tests for the event camera: motion sensitivity, performance in low-light conditions, noise response.
OBC and FSW	As part of the On Board Computer (OBC) and Flight Software (FSW) team, you’ll focus on configuring, testing, and optimizing the onboard computer to ensure reliable mission operations. Key Tasks: 1. ConOps: define, implement and test the Concept of Operations comprehensively. 2. System Configuration: configure the onboard computer to support mission-specific needs, data handling and responsiveness. 3. Flight Software Integration: integrate and test flight software for core functions, including telemetry and command execution. 4. Testing and Validation: conduct comprehensive testing under simulated mission conditions and flatsat configuration, ensuring the onboard computer functions seamlessly with other systems. 5. Data Management and Processing: set up data handling protocols to store, process, and transmit data efficiently, ensuring reliability and accuracy. 6. Fault Detection and Monitoring: implement fault detection and monitoring protocols for response to anomalies, maximizing system uptime.
Testing & Simulation	Testing of components and subsystems, Verification and Validation (V&V), Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing, Mechanical/Thermal/Software Testing, Simulation of whole systems as a service for other teams within EventSat. Tests planned: 1. Vibration testing 2. Vacuum chamber testing 3. Subsystem Hardware-in-the-Loop Verification 4. Component Testing 5. Flight Software Unit Testing
Optics	Key tasks: 1. Definition of optical performance criteria. 2. Assessing how environmental factors (e.g. temperature) will affect the optical system. 3. Study in possible objects detectable in space.
