Offer Description

We are looking for a postdoc collaborator for the design and testing of free-falling reference test mass systems for future geodesy missions. The current state-of-the-art for interspacecraft geodesy measurement of the spatial-temporal variations in Earth's gravitational field, such as the GRACE-FO mission, is limited by the residual acceleration noise for the geodetic reference test masses, at the 100 pm/s²/sqrt(Hz) level.
