Bob Ewald SCHUTZ

Bob played a key role in helping us to demonstrate the use of GPS for spacecraft rendezvous in the mid-90s. This set the stage for the automated resupply of the International Space Station. On a personal note, I learned a lot from him, both while working on these experiments, and, like many others, when I took his graduate course in satellite geodesy at UT. The fraternity of space navigators will sorely miss Bob's kind friendship, unique expertise, and especially his ready smile.

My wife, Anne Lafitte Eller, joins me in trying to express our sincere condolences to Dr. Bob's family and colleagues. We enjoyed knowing Bob and seeing him at many scientific meetings since 1971. May the Lord bless you and keep you now and forever. Thomas J. Eller, one of Bob's PhD Students.
