Jacobs is NASA's largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States.
We have an exciting opportunity for an Orbital Debris Optical Measurements Analyst to join our team with the Science & Exploration Division.
This is a temporary role not to exceed 19 weeks.
This position will work on the JETS-II Orbital Debris Optical Team providing support in optical measurements and analysis of space debris for NASA's Orbital Debris Program.
NASA uses debris data collected by instruments, such as the Eugene Stansbery-Meter Class Autonomous Telescope, to identify orbital debris brightness, size and orbit information.
Analysis of these data contribute to a better understanding of how the debris environment in Earth orbit is evolving, and is key to building models to predict risk and mitigate further debris events in the future.
The results of this work will be used to help build populations for the next version of the Orbital Debris Engineering Model (ORDEM), which is a critical mission planning tool used by NASA and industry.
