Responsibilities

  • Develop knowledge and experience through various training programs, including on-the-job and on-call training. Support routine flight dynamics operations, and the planning, execution and reporting of satellite orbit custody operations. This can include: Support the analysis of satellite tracking data, monitor the quality of FDS planning products, report the satellite orbit profile, and as required define orbit manoeuvre parameters and plan for the execution of orbit manoeuvre activities to correct the satellite orbital trajectory and meet the specified requirements. Support the analysis of satellite close approach alerts, evaluate the threat level using pre-defined criteria, develop and implement avoidance manoeuvres to reduce the probability of collisions. Monitor Earth orientation and space environment forecasts on a regular basis to identify impacts to orbit events including solar eclipses, space weather events, leap second adjustments, etc. Support the monitoring of all scheduled orbit activities to assess satellite propulsion health, efficiencies, fuel remaining and maintain logging records. Support the investigation and reporting of satellite anomalies as required. Support technical and operational analysis results, conclusions and recommendations. Participate in routine and anomaly recovery coordination meetings. Support status reporting to mission stakeholders to describe non-nominal events, recoveries and assess impacts to the satellite and science data. Support issue identification and resolution with the FDS, operations plans and manual procedures when such changes are required to maintain or improve satellite availability or performance, and support adequately the remainder of the baseline mission. Support the maintenance of effective working level interfaces with external agencies and customers. Provide support to the SSE and/or the Manager Space Operations (MSO), Advanced Technologies headquarters, or customers as required. Other duties as required within the context of the role.
