Wubbo Ockels

Wubbo Ockels is the first Dutch astronaut. After his adventures in space he started working for the Europen Space Agency (ESA) and the university. Currently, he is fulltime professor at the TU Delft. The combination of youth and technology is his main interest.

Wubbo Ockels brings the team in contact with different companies and gives advice on all kind of aspects. Due to the previous Nuna-teams and the World Solar Challenge 2003 and 2005 he is the most experienced person in the team.

Eric Trottemant

Eric Trottemant graduated in 1999 at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. He started working for the ESA Education Office in Noordwijk. Eric has been part of the Nuna project since the very beginning. During the World Solar Challenges 2001 and 2003 Eric took care of the strategy. With its own strategic program, based on genetic algorithms, Eric will determine the optimal driving velocity during the World Solar Challenge 2005 as well.

Tim de Lange

Tim de Lange founded the Alpha Centauri Team in 2000, together with Ramon Martinez. This team became the first Dutch winner of the World Solar Challenge in 2001, with the Nuna 1. At the moment, Tim works as Technical Researcher at ASSET. He helps the team with the motors and motorcontrollers. He will be part of the team during the race in September.

Joris Melkert

Engineer Joris Melkert is a former student at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft. At the moment he works as professor assistant for ASSET (AeroSpace for Sustainable Engineering and Technology) at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. He supports the team with professional advice. His assistance during the production of the Nuna 3 is very much appreciated!

Ir. L.M.M. Boermans

During the aerodynamic proces the team could always count on the professional advice from engineer Boermans from the Low Speed Aerodynamic Department, TU Delft. He has been involved in the project since the first Nuna was designed 5 years ago. His experience was priceless during the design proces and the windtunneltests. p>
