| Management team: |
Christophe Van Bavinchove graduated as Master of Science in Physics (experimental physics) at the University
of Ghent in 1994 and was subsequently hired by the Verhaert company where he was responsible for the
thermal engineering and verification of multiple space projects and
industrial projects. As the number of projects increased he hired and managed a small thermal
engineering team.
After optimisation of the thermal design of the FluidPac project he was responsible for all technical aspects of the project. As FluidPac system engineer he coordinated a team of up to 10 engineers. At RedShift he combines project management, system engineering and detailed engineering. He is mainly working on system level conceptual design, electronics development (including conceptual design, detailed design and layout), flight software development (including architecture and coding in C and LabView), thermal engineering and product assurance. |

Tom Beuselinck graduated as Master of Science in Engineering (electro-mechanics, option mechatronics) at
the University of Leuven in 1991 and was subsequently hired by the space instruments division of the
Verhaert company, where he was system engineer and project manager for several projects.
Managing the FluidPac project he was leading a consortium of five European companies as prime contractor. He was responsible for the development and operation of the FluidPac facility, resulting in a successful mission in September 1999. The total budget for developing and flying FluidPac was almost 25 Million Euro. At RedShift he combines company management, project management, system engineering and detailed engineering. He is mainly working on system level conceptual design, mechanical design (including conceptual design, detailed design and drafting), optical design, user interface software development (including C, C++.net, LabView, Matlab and Visual Basic), environmental verification (including vibration and shock testing, thermal testing and EMC testing). |
