Waldemar Bauer is research engineer at DLR Bremen since 9 years. In 2015, he obtained his PhD in space debris research at the Technical University Braunschweig and the diploma in mechanical engineering – Aerospace Engineering – at the Hochschule Bremen in 2007. He invented a new method, SOLID, for in-situ detection of space debris and micrometeoroids. SOLID is currently undergoing on orbit testing. It is envisaged to implement the sensor on a large number of satellites in different orbits in the future. In 2016 he took over the system engineering task of the DLR project ReFEx. He participated in a large number of feasibility studies using the Concurrent Engineering approach and is involved into the educational activities at the University Bremen.
