MarsDrive

MarsDrive is pleased to announce the recent appointment of 2 new Board members to our Executive team. Ron Cordes is our Director of Engineering. He is president of CFM Inc and a newly retired engineer with extensive experience in propulsion and trajectory simulation. With a Batchelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and graduate studies in systems engineering and engineering management and working on vehicle simulations for NASA's Apollo Program plus decades of executive level management in project software Ron joined the team earlier in 2007 and hopes to help us bring our mission plan from paper to reality in coming years.

Randall Shelaga has over twenty years of experience in Aerospace Engineering ranging from the design of flight test installations to structures and systems installations for military aircraft, regional airliners and business jets. Currently, he is the Manager, Airworthiness for SPAR Aerospace Ltd. in Edmonton, Alberta. In his spare time, he enjoys being outdoors looking at the night sky, wondering when man will travel to Mars. As a child, he watched man first orbit the earth and step on the moon, as an adult he shared in the loss of the Challenger and Columbia crews. Randall and Ron bring to MarsDrive the necessary technical expertise and leadership to help take us closer to our goals of a human future on Mars.
