As an intern, your main activities will include:
1. Analysis of representative EO mission and constellation communication scenarios.
2. Definition of use cases for direct and federated data delivery.
3. Identification of relevant mission, ground segment, relay-path, and V&V requirements.
4. Modelling of communication chains, data flows, and operational assumptions.
5. Development of early prototypes, scripts, simulation components, or proof-of-concept tools.
6. Support to the definition of a digital V&V framework for EO spacecraft and flatsat-like configurations.
7. Assessment of interoperability aspects between spacecraft, ground segment elements, relay nodes, and testbed components.
8. Preparation of technical documentation, diagrams, analysis results, and presentation material.
9. Participation in technical discussions with the engineering team.
WHAT DO WE NEED IN OUR TEAM?
