If you’ve been following the Philae landing you will have seen this team often on your screen. You’ve probably heard a lot about flight director Andrea Accomazzo (middle) and Philae lander manager Stephan Ulamec (on his right), but you might wonder who the women in their midst was.
That is Elsa Montagnon, deputy flight director of Rosetta. She is a Spacecraft Operations Manager at ESOC (ESA’s operations center). Besides operating Rosetta she is also working on ESA’s Mercury mission BepiColombo.
If you’re interested in what she does, check out this neat video.
