Advanced Space | 2027 Summer Internship | Onsite

We’re going to the Moon. Think you’ve got what it takes?

About the Role

At Advanced Space, we're enabling humanity's return to the Moon and building the technologies that will take us to Mars and beyond. We're looking for a 2027 Navigation Summer Intern to join our astrodynamics team and contribute to innovative spacecraft navigation and mission design projects.

As a Navigation Intern, you'll work alongside experienced technical staff who will provide mentorship and guidance throughout your internship. You'll gain hands-on experience solving complex navigation challenges, conducting technical research, and supporting projects connected to real space missions.

This internship is ideal for students passionate about orbital mechanics, spacecraft navigation, and the future of space exploration. You'll have the opportunity to apply your technical skills while learning from engineers developing navigation solutions for missions to the Moon and beyond.

About Advanced Space

Advanced Space exists to enable the sustainable exploration, development, and settlement of space through innovative software, mission services, and technology solutions. As the owner and operator of NASA's CAPSTONE™ mission and the Prime Contractor for AFRL's Oracle mission, we're helping shape the future of cislunar exploration while supporting commercial, civil, and national security customers.

Our team combines deep technical expertise with an entrepreneurial mindset. We move quickly, collaborate across disciplines, and empower every engineer to make meaningful contributions. If you're passionate about solving challenging problems and seeing your work fly in space, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Actually Do

Support spacecraft navigation and astrodynamics projects.

Work alongside technical staff on summer projects focused on spacecraft navigation, trajectory analysis, and advanced mission design concepts.

Solve challenging spaceflight problems.

Contribute to projects involving areas such as:

  • Applications of Kalman Filters
  • Assessing navigation algorithm performance
  • Fusing various measurement simulation and processing
  • Developing nonlinear filtering algorithms
  • AI and machine learning applications for spacecraft navigation
  • Navigation analysis for future flight programs
  • Navigation studies and operations using real flight data

Apply engineering and programming skills.

Use your knowledge of orbital mechanics, programming, and numerical methods to support spacecraft navigation analysis and research.

Share your work and findings.

Present project results through technical reports, presentations, and discussions with members of the astrodynamics and navigation teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
