About Michael Wrasmann
Michael Wrasmann has been working as a research associate at the DLR Institute of Space Systems in the Exploration Systems department since 2012. During his mechanical engineering studies, he specialised in photogrammetric measurement systems for the burn-up measurement of heat shields for re-entry into planetary atmospheres, for which he wrote his final thesis at the Institute of Space Systems and DLR in Stuttgart.
Since mid-2012, he has been part of the MASCOT team, which is preparing and coordinating the flight mission of the asteroid lander on the Japanese mother probe Hayabusa-2. During the test phase, he took over the management and coordination of the integration and test team. Among other things, he was responsible for ensuring that MASCOT underwent a demanding test programme and was completed within a short schedule. In addition to his role in the MASCOT project, he is interested in personnel management and concurrent engineering, as the MASCOT project also showed how modern management tools can be used to reduce the time required to assemble and test a prototype. He also enjoys working with modern materials such as carbon nanotubes, whose mechanical properties for innovative plastic compositions he already investigated during his studies in the Polymer Technology department at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences.
