58978: Student in Aerospace Engineering, Communication Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Physics (f/m/x) - Space Thermal Analysis and TCS design for GEO VHTS Optical Communications Payload
The optical communication group of DLR’s Institute of Communications and Navigation develops experimental laser communication systems for optical data links between airborne carriers such as airplanes or satellites and optical ground stations as well as demonstrator platforms for testbed system verifications. The system development covers several disciplines such as optics, mechanics, electronics and programming.
The successful applicant will support our team in the development of optical, photonic and communications systems for very-high-throughput satellite communications applications. Foremost, she/he will perform theoretical analysis and simulation of various techniques to characterize the space thermal environment and characterize the thermal control subsystem (TCS) related to the optical communication payload. Space environment analysis and TCS literature review would conclude the theoretical part, which shall be followed by simulation work on CAD and CAE software, to assess the most effective TCS solutions in terms of SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) and the most effective interfaces between the TCS and the Optical Communication Payload in the space environment.
It is an excellent opportunity to work in a cutting-edge topic, gain experience on real optical hardware, and improve your engineering skills.
Tasks:
- thermal control subsystem design for optical communication payload
- interface definition between the optical payload and the TCS
- performance analysis
- pogramming of Python or Matlab simulation tools
