New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
BONN, Germany, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- German astronaut Thomas Reiter is joining the executive board of the German Space Agency, or DLR, as head of space research and development.
German Federal Minister of Economics and Technology Michael Glos said, “We are very happy because, in bringing Thomas Reiter to the DLR to take up this important post, we are not just gaining the services of a popular astronaut, but also those of a renowned researcher with first-rate scientific skills with an exceptional knowledge of space matters.”
Jean-Jacques Dordain, director-general of the European Space Agency, noted Reiter has worked for 15 years as a member of the European Astronaut Corps in Cologne.
Said Dordain: “I am glad to see that the experience gained at ESA is valued by the German Space Agency and that Thomas Reiter will be taking on a high-ranking position with the DLR. What is good for Germany is good for ESA.”
