**Job Requisition ID**:18744**Closing Date**:14 July 2024 23:59 CET/CEST**Publication**:External Only**Type of Contract**:Intern**Date Posted**:17 June 2024- Internship Opportunity in the Directorate of Human and Robotic Exploration Programmes.-
**Location**
Harwell

**Our team and mission**

**This position is based at the European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT) - Harwell, UK**
The Directorate of Human and Robotic Exploration (D/HRE) is the main ESA entity in charge of supporting and coordinating efforts towards the current and the future endeavours of human spaceflight. The exploration activities are part of the strategic plans in securing a central role for Europe with respect to the global initiatives. The European Exploration Envelope Programme (E3P) is integrating the ESA activities in this field to ensure a single exploration process. The strategy includes three destinations where humans will work with robots to gather new knowledge: Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the Moon, and Mars.
The “Spaceship ECSAT” initiative is investigating low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) technologies for supporting the future cislunar space mission as well as surface activities on the Moon as part of the Exploration Preparation, Research and Technology (ExPeRT) team. This multidisciplinary, innovation-driven team composed by researchers, graduate and undergraduate students is based at the ESA European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT). The mission statement of “Spaceship ECSAT” is centered on three main pillars: connect, inspire and advance. The founding idea behind this initiative is to prepare the future of Space exploration. To do so, a pragmatic and research focused approach is adopted, and knowledge acquired is disseminated within ESA, partners and the relevant scientific community.
Within Spaceship ECSAT, we have a number of fields where we carry out different projects. These fields are:

- Demonstrating disruptive technologies such as Virtual/Augmented Reality, collaborative robotics and their potential use cases for exploration
- Investigating novel concepts in the domain of Space Resources/In-Situ Resource Utilisation, to enable sustainable human exploration.
- Supporting the development of the VULCAN analogue sample facility at ECSAT
- Topics related to ‘off world living’, e.g. human factors, design and concept illustration
Additionally, the Spaceship team is involved in supporting the development of our VULCAN facility at ECSAT (previously known as the Sample Analogue Curation Facility). This facility is designed to be a focal point for simulant development (including regolith, rocks etc.) and curation activities in Europe for Space Applications, with a focus on Exploration and Science. It provides expertise to ESA, its member states, and potentially worldwide regarding analogue and simulant materials.
We are continually looking for innovative applicants with skills or interests in these areas to join the Spaceship ECSAT team.
