Offer Description

Mission:

Develop an end-to-end (E2E) Digital Twin framework for the optimization of satellite constellations dedicated to disaster monitoring (forest fires and floods) and communications.

Functions to be developed:

- Digital Twin Design: Create virtual replicas to link disaster requirements with satellite design.
- Modeling observations: Develop solvers (solvers) for GNSS-R and Signals of Opportunity (SoOP).
- Satellite scheduling (Tasking): Implement centralized (MILP) and decentralized (CBBA) scheduling algorithms.
- System optimization: Perform multi-objective tradespace explorations for optimal constellation design.
- Software contribution: Develop and release open source modules for the Orekit library.
