• Monitor, analyze and interpret existing satellite space safety regulations, including domestic, regional and international frameworks for satellite launches, operations, deorbiting, preservation of human life in space, human casualty risk, impact on optical-astronomy and unintended electromagnetic radiation from space
• Monitor, analyze and interpret existing standards (e.g., ISO, CCSDS, etc.) including those related to the safe operation of space objects and to policies on SSA/STC/STM. This activity may involve representing Telesat in selected standardization bodies
• Assist in the development of technical documentation to demonstrate compliance with requirements related to the abovementioned matters
• Assist in carrying out relevant analysis using specialized software such as NASA DAS and ESA tools (e.g., DRAMA, MASTER, DISCOS)
• Analyze existing literature relative to mathematical models including on orbital debris modelling, orbital carrying capacity, collision risk, reliability requirements, deorbit methodologies, and impact of satellite re-entry into the Earth atmosphere
• Assist at implementing in software such models and develop technical arguments to refine and/or improve them, considering the design and requirements of the Telesat Lightspeed system
• Contribute to activities related to the coordination of the operations of the Telesat Lightspeed system with the astronomers’ communities
• Cooperate with other relevant Telesat teams (e.g., Space Programs & Operations) to ensure that the latest developments on the Telesat Lightspeed program are duly considered in all activities above
• Provide regular updates to management on the activities above using simple and effective language
• Actively participate in national and international fora (e.g., ITU, UNOOSA/COPUOS, relevant conferences) to present and defend Telesat positions related to the sustainable use of orbit and spectrum resources, as required
• Maintain and develop internal documentation related to the activities above
