Introducing
… the team behind this years workshop:

Dr.-Ing.
Gisela Detrell
SSDW ORGANIZER – Co-Chair
Research Group Leader in Life Support Systems
at the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart
Involved in the SSDW since 2009.
” I am eager to contribute to make human spaceflight exploration possible, because space exploration allows us to understand the world we live in and to go beyond what seems possible.”

M. Sc.
Tharshan Maheswaran
SSDW ORGANIZER – Co-Chair

at the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart
Modular system architectures for space-based geoengineering focusing on an International Planetary Sunshade Concept based on space resources to mitigate global warming
“Curiosity and ambitions have already led mankind to establish a great number of monuments on Earth. Now I believe we are entering an era with a great vision to set new frontiers in the sustainable exploration of space, as well as the colonization and exploitation of new celestial bodies. My fascination for space exploration lies in the fact that we are not only developing technologies to extend our sphere of influence, but also creating the foundation to enlarge the human perspective on our journey towards becoming a multiplanetary species.”
