Organisation/Company: Politecnico di Bari Research Field: Engineering Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2), Leading Researcher (R4), First Stage Researcher (R1), Established Researcher (R3) Country: Italy Application Deadline: 5 Dec 2024 - 23:59 (UTC) Type of Contract: To be defined Job Status: Not Applicable Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the job related to a staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description Space debris particles with dimensions ranging between 100 microns and 10 mm are not trackable with existing monitoring systems and have sufficient energy to harm Earth satellites during collision events. An innovative strategy to prevent future impacts of satellites with small debris objects embraces the development of particle detectors mounted onto orbiting satellites. The ‘Multifunctional Sandwich Composite Space Debris Detector (MUSIC)’ project funded by the European Space Agency will take this strategy to the next level by developing a new ground-breaking multifunctional sandwich composite panel that combines load-bearing properties and debris detection capabilities. A laboratory prototype of the proposed multifunctional sandwich composite will be developed with Thales Alenia Space and in collaboration with the University of Kent in the United Kingdom. Assessment on the basis of academic qualifications and an oral examination. J-18808-Ljbffr
