Beschrijving
The Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) is a Belgian Federal Scientific Institute. Since its founding in 1964, BIRA-IASB has been conducting research and providing public services in space aeronomy, i.e. the physics and chemistry of Earth's atmosphere and other planets, and outer space.
Our scientists use ground-based, balloon-, air
- or space-borne instruments and computer models.


Division and context

Responsibilities
field of ground-based, space sciences and instrumental radiometric characterization through: (i)
involvement in general B.

RCLab activities to evolve it into a center of excellence (core domains:
metrology
applied to radiometry, thermal-vacuum), (ii) to contribute to the ongoing projects in which the laboratory is
currently involved. B.RCLab possesses several instrumental characterization benches with past, present

More specifically:

  • Support for the update of existing facilities for radiometric characterization and the development
and validation of new facilities, by managing the use of existing equipment, procurement of new
devices and interfacing with custom designed electro-mechanical items developed with Computer
Assisted Design (CAD) tools.

  • Support for the development of efficient and user friendly Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) that
manage the acquisition with Data Acquisition System (DAQ) electronics for the available
characterization facilities.

  • Support for the development of data analyzing tools, to process the data acquired during
measurement campaigns for ongoing projects.

  • The applicant will contribute to characterization campaigns of devices under test (for space
qualification, calibrations, thermal-cycling using optical and thermal-vacuum equipment). They will
be involved in the implementation of a campaign. They will contribute to the documentation
(technical notes, measurement plans, reports, etc.) and the quality control (cleanliness, security
systems).

  • Documentation tasks that targets the positioning of the B.RCLab with new potential users, to
strengthen existing national and international contacts.

  • Participate to the BIOSPHERE project, mainly for the management of intercomparison campaigns
and the post-campaigns data processing.
