The Management Board is the highest decision making body within the organisation. It is comprised of three individuals from the Austrian Space Forums Board of Directors: Norbert Frischauf, Alexander Soucek and Gernot Groemer.

The Scientific and Technology Advisory Board is a vital organisational unit which acts as an external team of senior scientists and technology managers. It is comprised of high-level experts in relevant fields of space activities plus a representative from the Executive Board.

The Operations Office (Ops Office) is a segment which takes care of the field expeditions. In close cooperation with the Executive Office, it manages all Mission Control Center related tasks, such as establishing the infrastructure, ensuring safety for all staff members, crews and equipment involved, providing services for staffing & crew training etc.. and is the focal point for all expeditions.

This could be your chance to get involved in frontline space research! PolAres is organized by making use of both professionals and volunteers, as it has been demonstrated through the AustroMars project very successfully. Hence, the Austrian Space Forum offers volunteers the opportunity to become part of the programme e.g. by providing their individual expertise (e.g. management, arts, engineering, expedition safety etc…).
