About Hauke Hußmann
Hauke Hußmann is acting head of the Planetary Geodesy Department at the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin. There he focuses on the moons of the outer Solar System, in particular on their internal structure and development. Last but not least, the question of oceans inside the icy moons and their characterisation by measurements on space probes plays a major role.
