A job like no other…Micha Schmidt on his career @ ESA
Micha Schmidt is a Spacecraft Operations Manager at ESA. In this video he talks about his involvement in the Herschel project and the many phases of development that exist in all ESA projects. Micha also talks about his fascination for space as a boy and what a great experience it has been to live in various European countries whilst working for ESA.
When Micha Schmidt shutdown the Herschel telescopy computers was that essentially a orderly powerdown of central processor from which no remote restart is possible? If the craft was found or retrieved in the future might a hard reboot be possible after applying a new power source or would the on board electronics possibly be fried ?
