The European Space Agency Council has selected the head of the German space agency DLR to become the next director general of the agency.

Woerner currently chairman of the executive board of DLR, a position he will keep until he becomes head of ESA. Woerner has not disclosed what his plans for the agency are, but has said in the past he opposes the sort of horse-trading among member nations to line up support for each others' favorite missions.
