Mission Brief 

You will join our team on the beautiful arctic island of Andøya to support the local Operations Team with Testing and Launching our Spectrum Rocket by working on process improvements surrounding Integrated Systems Testing and Launch Campaigns. A special focus will be on modelling Pad behaviour based on collected data, compare real-life results with simulations to confirm or improve base assumptions taken in design, and thus enable virtual testing of procedure and hardware changes. 

While doing so, you will gain insight into Isar’s mission to build independent and reliable access to space from mainland Europe.
