Doug Rickard (26 May 1939 – 7 May 2002) was an Australian-born space engineer. He is known for his stories of engineering while at the Woomera Deep Space Station. He died in 2002 from myelofibrosis caused by contact with Cobalt-60 while working at the Maralinga nuclear test facility.Some of his stories have been collected by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation whose logo he possibly inspired (although the logo was designed by Bill Kennard) under the title Memoirs of a space engineer.
