  • Modelling of the wobble motion of the Envisat satellite
  • Robustness analysis of the wobble motion under uncertain model parameters
  • Determining the influence of the uncertain wobble motion on the nominal rendezvous trajectory
  • Comparison of polytopes and ellipsoids as a form for the maximum deviation in the robustness analysis

 

Your profil

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or a similar field
  • Experience with Matlab
  • Experience in the field of robust control and flight mechanics

 

Remuneration is based on qualifications and classification up to pay group 5 TVöD.
