Hamed GAMAL

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) • Aerospace Systems & Mission Management Specialist

Hamed Gamal is a space systems engineer and mission management specialist with extensive experience across the global aerospace sector. His career spans both government and industry, with expertise in the development, integration, and operationalization of advanced space systems. He has worked with leading organizations including Mynaric, Rocket Factory Augsburg, GomSpace, ICEYE, Boeing, and the United Nations, where his portfolio has consistently bridged cutting-edge engineering with strategic policy and international capacity-building.

Hamed contributes to the development and deployment of optical communication terminals designed to establish secure, high-capacity laser links between satellites, aircraft, and ground stations. His work supported the maturation of optical inter-satellite links (OISLs) as a cornerstone technology for next-generation space architectures, enabling resilient global connectivity and advancing the commercialization of laser communications in both government and private-sector constellations. This role underscored his expertise in bridging technical design with mission-level applications, particularly in areas requiring high data throughput and low-latency communications.

Hamed's broader expertise lies at the nexus of mission management, systems engineering, and the emerging newspace economy. He has been directly involved in projects that showcase the transition from traditional aerospace to commercial newspace solutions, particularly in the domains of satellite communications, synthetic aperture radar, and optical imaging. His professional contributions emphasize resilience, innovation, and the integration of new technologies into legacy operational frameworks.

Within the International Astronautical Federation, he is a member of both the Space Systems Technical Committee (SSTC) and the Space Economy Technical Committee (SEOC), where he contributes to advancing international discourse on the design, implementation, and sustainability of space missions, as well as the economic paradigms that underpin the rapidly evolving global space sector.
