<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Heliophysics Science Division is seeking a space weather analyst for its Moon-to-Mars (M2M) Space Weather Analysis Office (</span><a href="https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/674/m2m/index.html"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/674/m2m/index.html</span></a><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">),
which provides space weather information to NASA exploration missions utilizing models and software transitioned from the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). The main goal of the M2M Office is to support NASA’s Space Radiation Analysis Group (SRAG)
at Johnson Space Center with human space exploration activities by providing novel capabilities to characterize the space radiation environment<b>.
</b>M2M will work as the proving grounds and testbed for the capabilities that will eventually transition to operational agencies.<b>
</b>M2M also supports NASA robotic missions with space weather assessments and anomaly analysis support.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Space weather analysis includes monitoring the Sun for solar flares and eruptions and making projections of how these activities may impact NASA’s
human exploration and operations missions. The selected individual will work with other analysts and scientists to interpret and analyze space weather observations from the different missions, use tools and simulations to characterize coronal mass ejections
and solar energetic particle events, troubleshoot simulations, keep daily logs, and communicate with NASA and external partners pertinent to human spaceflight and robotic missions. Specialized space weather training will be provided to develop these skills.
The team provides coverage 7 days a week for 8 hours/day. During critical phases of human exploration activities (average of 30 days per year), the selected individual may work evenings or overnight shifts.
