What is the difference between Remote Space Science vs Remote Astrophysics?

AspectRemote Space ScienceRemote Astrophysics
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in space science, physics, or related fields; often requires research experienceBachelor's or higher in physics, astronomy, or astrophysics; strong analytical skills needed
Work EnvironmentResearch institutions, space agencies, universities; primarily remote with occasional fieldworkAcademic and research settings, observatories, space agencies; mostly remote with data analysis focus
Employer & Industry UsageNASA, ESA, private space companies, universitiesNASA, academic institutions, research labs, observatories

Remote Space Science and Remote Astrophysics share similar educational backgrounds and work environments, often involving research and data analysis for space-related projects. However, Remote Space Science tends to have a broader focus on space exploration and technology, while Remote Astrophysics concentrates more on understanding celestial phenomena. Both roles are vital in advancing our knowledge of the universe and are frequently searched for by professionals interested in space research careers.

What jobs can you do with a remote space science degree?

A remote space science degree can qualify you for roles such as research scientist, data analyst, or remote mission planner in aerospace organizations, government agencies, or private companies. These positions often require skills in data analysis, programming, and knowledge of space systems, with some roles involving collaboration through digital communication tools. Many jobs also require a background in physics, astronomy, or engineering and may involve working with satellite data, simulations, or remote sensing technologies.

Job description

Salary: DOE

CTS seeks a Cost Analyst Subject Matter Expert to provide technical expertise to the Evaluations, Assessments, Studies, Services, and Support (EASSS) contract. This contract supports NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and facilitates NASAs pursuit of the most noteworthy approaches for missions, payloads, spacecraft, instruments, and research that help answer the big questions in Earth and Space science. Located at LaRC, the NASAs Science Office for Mission Assessments (SOMA) helps SMD select and manage missions, spacecraft, and instruments. To accomplish this, SOMA manages and provides oversight of evaluations, assessments, and studies for SMD and other NASA organizations. These include evaluation of proposals received in response to NASA Announcements of Opportunity, NASA Research Announcements, Cooperative Agreement Notices, and Broad Agency Announcements, as well as highly specialized studies and assessments, such as life cycle and independent cost estimates, schedule assessments, and risk analyses. CTS supports SOMA via the EASSS contract by providing subject matter experts who will apply their expertise to complex proposal evaluations, management and technical assessments, and advanced studies through the EASSS contract.

CTSs subject matter experts need not be local to the program office near NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. We seek individuals who bring significant Technical, Management and Cost expertise in missions, payloads, spacecraft and instruments relevant to NASAs mission. The work is performed remotely with less than 10% travel occurring periodically for some during the assignment to bring the geographically distributed teams together for workshops to finalize results.

The Cost Analyst must have at least five (5) years of experience in estimating and analyzing space mission cost utilizing parametric models. Must be proficient in the use of aerospace industry standard cost analysis tools. Many cost estimating models exist, as is the case with the estimating methodologies, no single cost model can be used for all purposes. Estimating models can vary significantly in terms of data availability and automation. The knowledge of some of the following tools is greatly desired:


  • SEER (especially SEER-H)

  • Trueplanning
  • Project Cost Estimating Capability (PCEC)

  • NASA Air Force Cost Model (NAFCOM)

  • NASA Instrument Cost Model (NICM)

  • Technology Cost & Schedule Estimation (TCASE)

  • Schedule Management & Relationship Tool (SMART)

  • Phasing Model

  • One NASA Cost Engineering (ONCE) database

  • REDSTAR database

  • Polaris

  • Argo

  • Automated Cost Estimating Integrated Tools (ACEIT)

  • CO$TAT

  • Joint Analysis of Cost and Schedule (JACS)

  • PRICE cost models

Education: Must have a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics, Finance, Engineering, or other directly related field.

We thank you for your time and consideration of our current opening. If you choose to apply please be sure to upload your most recent and detailed resume for our review.
