Offer Description

CENSSS is a Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI), funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) and UiO for up to eight years, starting in November 2020. CENSSS has three research partners and nine user partners. CENSSS is located at Kjeller, Norway, where there is a long history of space science and technology dating back to the 1960s.

The person hired in the position will work on a real-time optimization for Guidance, Navigation, and Control of CENSSS-Sat 1, with the intent of flight experiments in 2027.

Standard spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) techniques for reorienting the satellite are rooted in classical frequency-domain approaches which, while offering explicit robustness guarantees, do not take fuel or energy considerations into account.

Real-time optimization techniques, combined with performance improvements in radiation-hardened CPUs, have made the prospect of real-time optimal control in spacecraft systems possible.

The PhD Research Fellow will develop real-time optimal control tools for spacecraft GNC, derive relevant stability and robustness margins, and implement the method on a flat sat with a HIL simulator before implementing it on CENSSS-Sat 1.
