Affiliate 



Mr. Carl F. Ehrlich, Jr. is an affiliate and technical advisor to SpaceWorks 

Engineering, Inc. (SEI). He has over 40 years of active experience in the 

aerospace industry, having retired from a successful 25 year career at Boeing 

North American (formerly: Rockwell International). Prior to that, he was 

employed at the Lockheed-California and Douglas Aircraft Companies for a 

total, of 15 years. He served with the United States Air Force in the Air 

Attaché Office of the American Embassy in Teheran, Iran. 

Mr. Richard P. Reinert is an affiliate and technical advisor to SpaceWorks 

Engineering, Inc. (SEI) in the areas of mission and spacecraft design. Mr. 

Reinert is currently the Manager and Chief Engineer of R P Reinert & 

Associates consulting, LLC in Colorado. He retired from a successful 24 

year career at Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp last year. Previous 

experience included six years each at Boeing and Hughes Aircraft and 4 

years at the Lockheed-California Company. 

During his active career, Mr. Ehrlich managed and participated in a wide 

range of advanced space transportation projects ranging from the 10- 

Passenger Orbital Carrier and Ten Ton Orbital Carrier studies in 1963-5 for 

NASA/MSFC, to the management of the Highly Reusable Space 

Transportation study for NASA/MSFC in 1997. 

Since his retirement in 1998, Mr. Ehrlich has consulted with a number of 

aerospace companies focused on the development of operational concepts 

for advanced reusable launch and entry vehicle systems. 

He is an Associate Fellow with the American Institute of Aeronautics and 

Astronautics (AIAA) and is currently a member and treasurer of the AIAA 

Space Transportation Technical Committee, a member of the AIAA Space 

Logistics Technical Committee, and Vice Chair for Membership and 

Treasurer for the AIAA San Fernando Pacific Section Executive Council. 

Mr. Ehrlich has earned degrees from Stanford University in 1957 (Bachelor of 

Science in Aerodynamics) and the University of Southern California in 1967 

(Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering). 

While serving at these four companies, Mr. Reinert has supported 

aerospace projects ranging from civil aircraft to planetary spacecraft in key 

design lead positions. At Boeing Aerospace he was manager of a 

DOE/NASA study that defined a practical approach to space disposal of 

nuclear waste, and supported concept definition of solar power satellites 

and advanced space transportation systems. At Ball he led successful 

proposal efforts for the SDIO Relay Mirror Experiment (RME), the Canadian 

Space Agency RADARSAT spacecraft, and the NASA Deep Impact 

Discovery Mission. His most recent assignments at Ball involved leading 

mission and system design of spacecraft concepts aimed at characterization 

and mitigation of hazards due to Near Earth Objects and in studies and 

hardware development involving attitude control of solar sails. 

Mr. Reinert earned a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics 

from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968 and attended the 

Graduate School of Mechanical Engineering at Loyola Marymount 

University in Los Angeles in the seventies.

Commercial Division 

Mr. William J.D. Escher is is an affiliate and technical advisor to SpaceWorks 

Engineering, Inc. (SEI). Mr. Escher has 50 years experience working in the 

aerospace industry divided among nearly equal tenures in the government, 

industry, and self-employed arenas. He has had a long-term involvement with 

space transportation and related propulsion developments that stretch back 

to the United State' first attempts to place scientific satellites in orbit during 

Project Vanguard run by the Naval Research Laboratory. Mr. Escher has also 

held positions at multiple NASA field centers as well as at NASA 

Headquarters, Rocketdyne, The Marquardt Corporation, Kaiser-Marquardt, 

and Astronautics Corporation of American. Additionally, Mr. Escher spent 

fifteen years as a self-employed consultant in the areas of terrestrial energy 

systems and environmental betterment technology. 

Just prior to joining SEI, Mr. Escher served as a senior systems engineer in 

the Applied Technologies Group of Science Applications International Corp. 

(SAIC) in Huntsville, Alabama. At SAIC, he applied his expertise in 

airbreathing/rocket-based combined-cycle propulsion to the development of 

propulsion technology databases and advanced space transportation system 

assessments. 

At Cornell University, while undertaking mechanical engineering studies, Mr. 

Escher served as the president and experimental committee chairman of the 

Cornell Rocket Society. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of 

Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), a long-term member of SAE 

International, and a founding participant in the Space Propulsion Synergy 

Team (SPST). 

Mr. Derek Webber is an affiliate and technical advisor to SpaceWorks 

Engineering, Inc. (SEI). Mr. Webber is currently Director of Spaceport 

Associates, a space tourism consultancy based in Washington, D.C. Over 

the last several years, he has directed three landmark studies in commercial 

space business planning: the ASCENT Study of Future Space Markets, for 

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the Futron/Zogby Study of Space 

Tourism Demand, and the Adventurers' Survey which he completed jointly 

with Incredible Adventures. Mr. Webber's career began as a launch vehicle 

and satellite engineer in what is now EADS/Astrium Space Systems. He 

worked on thermal control system design for a number of satellites, 

including the Skynet satellite, and on kinetic heating analyses for launch 

vehicles, including post-flight analyses of telemetry from the Europa vehicle 

firings from the Woomera range. He became Head of Procurement at 

Inmarsat, (responsible for contracting over a billion dollars worth of 

communications satellites, their launch vehicles and ground segment), and 

Managing Director of Tachyon Europe (providing satellite broadband and 

Internet access across the continent). Mr. Webber holds a B.Sc. Honors 

Degree in Physics and Mathematics from Newcastle University (UK), and 

postgraduate qualifications in Space Science (from University College 

London, UK) and Management (from the University of Westminster, UK). He 

is a Senior Member of AIAA, and a Fellow of the British Interplanetary 

Society. Mr. Webber has been a member of the Adjunct Faculty of the 

International Space University, and at the US International University in San
