You can choose between the following topics:
1)Topic 1: Spaceship EAC
Spaceship EAC – our team is always on the lookout for talented and motivated persons to join our projects and contribute to ESA’s exploration activities.
The main areas into which the initiative is currently active are:
• Energy production and storage;
• Radiation shielding;
• In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU);
• VR/AR technologies for exploration;
• Embedded systems and IoT;
• Exercise hardware and countermeasure concepts;
• Machine learning for exploration ;
• Robotics and human factors;
• Conceptual illustration/design.
2) Topic 2: Supporting LUNA Analogue Facility Utilisation Scenarios
The team member will support the definition of early utilisation scenarios within LUNA, in coordination with the LUNA project team, and detail their planning, such as the operations of rovers within the LUNA hall, the facilitation of Spaceship teams utilisation and initial EVA operations. Furthermore, the team member will support the adaptation and/or development EVA tools and their integration into the operational concepts of the LUNA facility.
3) Topic 3: LUNA Facility Habitat Development Support
This topic will focus on supporting the development and integration of initial elements of the analogue Moon base around LUNA, including design, planning, interface definition, and operational concept development. The team member will support the final preparations and early outfitting of the LUNA hall and the regolith testbed, with a particular focus on the logistics around the regolith filling and initial surface modelling to resemble lunar polar exploration areas.
