Deimos Space > Galileo Program & Copernicus Program. Madrid (2012 - 2014)
the problemS
Galileo Program: The so-called European GPS, was formed by Ground Segment and Space Segment.
In the Ground Segment, we can find the GNSS applications (in particular, Mission Support Facility) that was partially developed by Deimos Space.
Copernicus Program: Inside this Program, the European Space Agency had the Sentinel-3 mission.
Sentinel-3 is a European wide-swath, medium-resolution, multi-spectral imaging mission designed to monitor ocean surface topography as well as land and sea surface temperature. The satellite hosts 4 instruments: the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR), the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI), a Sar Radar Altimeter (SRAL) and a Microwave Radiometer (MWR).
This included a sub-system called Instrument Processing Facility (IPF) that was partially developed by Deimos Space.
THE contributionS
* Developed and tested Precise Orbit & Clock Determination for Galileo, using simulation techniques in C, C++ and Matlab.
* Executed unit testing and functional testing and stated working using Agile methodologies.
* Developed and tested the preprocessing stages of satellite signals, transforming them from binary code into Earth images, using C and Python.
* Designed and executed unit testing, functional and non functional testing.
* Worked using Agile methodologies and tracking and reporting using JIRA.
the learnings
Coding skills (C, C++, Python). Functional and non functional testing design and implementation.
The management style and team structure and team work can make or break a project.
I discovered my passion for Project Management.
