Stephan Ulamec
Stephan Ulamec was born in January, 27th, 1966 in Salzburg, Austria. He is an Austrian geophysicist, living in Germany since 1994, with more than 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals and several participations in space missions and payloads operated by diverse space agencies.[1][2][3] He is working at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) in Cologne.[4] He is regularly giving lectures in aerospace engineering at the University of Applied Sciences: Fachhochschule FH-Aachen. Main aspects of his work are related to the exploration of small bodies in the solar system (asteroids and comets).
Career
He went to the Akademische Gymnasium, finishing his Matura in 1984. Thereafter he studied at the Karl-Franzens University in Graz (Austria) Geophysics as student of Prof. Siegfried J. Bauer. He finished his PhD on “Acoustic and Electrical Methods for the Exploration of Atmospheres and Surfaces, with Application to Saturn's Moon Titan” in 1991. From 1991 till 1993, he worked as Research Fellow at the European Space Agency (ESA), precisely at European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk (The Netherlands). Since 1994, he is working at the Microgravity User Support Center (MUSC) which is part of the DLR Space Operations and Astronaut Training.[5] He has made several participation in International Astronautical Congress (IAC).[6]
Involvement in space missions
Mission to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Stephan Ulamec has been the project manager of the Rosetta lander Philae, which successfully landed on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014.[7][8][9][10]
Mission to (162173) Ryugu
He has also been Payload Manager of MASCOT, a lander made in common by the French space agency (CNES) and the DLR, that has been delivered by the JAXA Hayabusa2 spacecraft to asteroid (162173) Ryugu in 2018.[11]
Mission to Phobos
Stephan Ulamec is one of two lead scientists of the French-German MMX rover, together with Patrick Michel, to be launched in 2024 by the Japanese Mars Moons eXploration, MMX, a JAXA mission to the Mars natural satellite Phobos.[12]
Mission to (65803) Didymos
He is also part of the Science Management Board for the ESA Hera mission, to be launched in 2024 with a Space X Falcon 9 shuttle, aimed at operating a rendez-vous and characterising in details the asteroid (65803) Didymos and its satellite Dimorphos, and also analysing the artificial impact created by the NASA probe DART in September 2022.[13][14][15][16]
Involvement in other projects and working groups
NEO-MAPP
He is involved in NEO-MAPP, a European Union Horizon 2020 project to study mitigation and characterisation techniques for potentially hazardous asteroids.[17]
SSEWG
From January 2020 till June 2023, he is chairing the ESA Solar System and Exploration Working Group (SSEWG).[18]
