Early life and education

After graduating from high school (1949), Gottzein trained as an electrical engineer, then later enrolled at the Technical University of Dresden (1952-1957), before finally enrolling at Technical University of Darmstadt (1957-1962).[1]

During her studies, she also worked at the Bölkow KG company in Ottobrunn, and by 1963 had become head of a department.[2]

In 1983 Gottzein gained her was at the Technical University of Munich to Dr.-Ing. doctorate on "The Magnetic Wheel as an autonomous functional unit of modular support and guidance systems for magnetic tracks".

In 1989 she become a lecturer at the University of Stuttgart in "Regulatory Problems in Space", and become an honorary professor in 1996, a position which she still holds.[3] She is also an honorary professor of the Technical University of Munich.[4]

Gottzein specialised in control technology, especially orbital control of satellites, and control systems for guidance systems for high-speed magnetic tracks. She was a scientific advisor to Airbus in the development of a GPS receiver for commercial space applications. She is listed as an inventor on multiple patents.[5] She currently leads the Control and Simulation Department of the Space Division of Astrium.[6]

Gottzein is the first, and so far only, woman to be awarded the Werner von Siemens Ring,[7] one of the highest awards for technical sciences in Germany.
