About the Company
Established in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company, based in Toulouse, pushing the boundaries of in-orbit services with cutting-edge spacecraft driven by its own Rendez-Vous solution, an advanced Autonomous Vision-Based Navigation Solution. IO has two generations of missions
"Orbit Guard" provides Inspection and Space Situational Awareness services in GEO. Our first, OG-1 was launched on 1 May 2023, the second is launching in 2025 and the third third launching in 2026.
"Endurance" is a docking service capable of extending the life of GEO telecom satellites, by taking over AOCS takeover for 5 years.
About the Role
We are looking for a motivated Aerospace Engineering intern to join our Rendezvous team in Barcelona. You will collaborate closely with our Toulouse office to develop and test advanced relative navigation algorithms and simulation tools for space rendezvous missions.
Job Description
Implement optimizations to our MATLAB/Simulink-based image generation software.
Test and validate the implementation with simulated rendezvous trajectories, lab-based images and real space images.
Test Far-Range Relative navigation algorithms with the images generated with the MATLAB/Simulink-based software.
Execute Monte-Carlo simulations with multiple GNC algorithms in the loop.
Create and maintain technical documentation about the implementations made and tests performed
Assist the integration of relative navigation algorithms in an end-to-end rendezvous simulator.
