Leben
Hans Koenigsmann erwarb 1998 den akademischen Grad eines Diplom-Ingenieurs für Luft- und Raumfahrt der Technischen Universität Berlin und den Doktorgrad für Luft- und Raumfahrt und Produktionstechnologie der Universität Bremen.

Als junger Raumfahrtingenieur arbeitete Hans Koenigsmann zunächst beim Zentrum für Angewandte Raumfahrttechnologie und Mikrogravitation (ZARM) an der Universität Bremen. Dort arbeitete er zuerst an der Steuerung des dort entwickelten Satelliten BremSat. Später übernahm er das technische Programmmanagement des Projektes. Der Satellit startete 1994 mit dem Space Shuttle ins Weltall und erfüllte dort etwa ein Jahr seine Forschungsaufgaben. Koenigsmann übersiedelte nach Abschluss des Projektes nach Kalifornien, um dort für die Microcosm Inc., einen Satellitenhersteller, zu arbeiten. Elon Musk lernte er bei Raketenstarts in der Mojave-Wüste kennen.

Im Jahr 2002 warb ihn Musk für seine Neugründung SpaceX als vierten technischen Angestellten an. Zunächst führte Koenigsmann die Abteilung Avionik. Koenigsmann wurde Teil des Startteams bei allen SpaceX Raketenstarts, sei es die Falcon 1 oder die Falcon 9. Ab dem dritten Flug der Falcon 1 wurde er Startchefingenieur. Im Jahr 2011 wurde er zum Vizepräsidenten für Mission Assurance ernannt und verantwortet seither die Sicherheit der Raketenstarts und Missionen.

Am 21. Dezember 2015 gelang es erstmals, die 1. Stufe einer Falcon-9-Trägerrakte in der SpaceX Landing Zone 1 in Cape Canaveral automatisiert zu landen, noch bevor die weiterfliegende 2. Stufe erfolgreich elf Satelliten vom Typ Orbcomm-OG2 aussetzte. Der physikalische Gedanke, der diesem Erfolg zugrunde liegt, besteht offenkundig in der richtigen Kombination von Anfangsgewicht, Antriebskraft, Treibstoff, Form und Oberflächenmaterial der Rakete, parabolischer Bahn und dem richtigen Drehmoment unter Einbeziehung der Gesetze der Schwerkraft.

<!-== Geography == The creek rises in the Kemp Mill section of Silver Spring in Montgomery County and joins with Northwest Branch near the city of Hyattsville in Prince George's County. The lower portion of the creek has been channelized. Elevations in the subwatershed range from 450 ft above sea level to 35 ft at the confluence with Northwest Branch; the average gradient for the course of the creek is 0.72%.

Contributing streams that flow into the creek include Wheaton Branch, Comstock Branch, Takoma Park Branch, and Long Branch.

Sligo Creek is one of the most heavily urbanized subwatersheds in the Anacostia watershed, with a population density of 7,081 people per mi2. 75% of the watershed is in Montgomery County, 20% is in Prince George's County, and 5% is in the District of Columbia. Less than 15% of the subwatershed is undeveloped, and only 10% is forested. Less than 0.01% of the area is wetlands.

From its source to the confluence with the Northwest Branch, the creek crosses through the communities of Silver Spring, Wheaton, Takoma Park, Carole Highlands, Chillum and Hyattsville. In these towns, the banks of the creek are in many stretches maintained as public parkland, with grassy lawns and playing fields.

The Sligo Creek Trail, a hiker-biker trail, runs along the creek from Wheaton to the confluence, where it connects with the Anacostia Tributary Trail System. An automobile parkway runs along many parts of the creek in Montgomery County. -->
