David A. Lorenz

David Lorenz is the TAG Campaign Lead for the OSIRIS-REx project at Goddard Space Flight Center. Mr. Lorenz has worked at GSFC for over 34 years starting in attitude operations for the first on-orbit repair of a satellite - Solar Maximum Repair Mission. He has worked as a GN&C engineer for multiple spacecraft as well as mission operations for Landsats −4 & −5, Terra and Aqua. Mr. Lorenz developed the operations plan and FSW changes that allowed Landsat-4 to be returned to nearly full operations following the failure of 2 of 4 of its solar panels. He served as shuttle integration manager for the UARS mission and then moved to mission operations for this mission to assist in maintaining the full mission despite the failure of the solar array drive and battery anomalies. Mr. Lorenz also was part of the launch and early check-out team for multiple GOES satellites (I, J, L, N, & O) as well as assisting in the development of the INR system for GOES-R before coming to OSIRIS-REx. Mr. Lorenz received his bachelor's degree in Physics from Thomas More College and his masters in Physics from the University of Maryland.
