Harry Coumnas Considers It His Highest Priority to Keep Earth Clean of Alien Microbes

Holding strong numerical and computational skills, Harry Coumnas formerly worked as a geoscientist. He was involved in the search for and development of natural resources. He studied the materials, processes, and history of the Earth. He investigated how rocks were formed and what happened to them. He collected geophysical, geochemical, and geological information in the field from seismic and well data and other sources.

He also served as the planetary protection officer where he considered red planet a frequent target. He helped establish the equipment, protocols, and procedures to reduce the risks. He holds extraordinary qualifications and an advanced knowledge of planetary protection and all it entails.

Holding an advanced degree in engineering, Harry Coumnas considers it his highest priority to keep Earth clean of alien microbes that could arrive in a sample return capsule. He abides by the policies of his agency for planetary protection applicable to all the spaceflight missions that may carry organisms and organic constituents to the planets.

Being highly passionate about space science, he masters the diverse disciplines such as aerodynamics, thermodynamics, quantum physics and chemistry, spectroscopy and fast acquisition diagnostics. He considers that it is of paramount importance for achieving a complete understanding of the properties for the space plasmas.

Overall, as an astronautical engineer, Harry Coumnas provides technical advices and investigates the causes of plane crashes. He has formerly worked to devise aircraft and propulsion systems.
