Live and act
After graduating from high school in Ribnitz , Schmelovsky studied physics at the University of Rostock from 1949 to 1954 . From 1955 he was then a research assistant and later a group leader at the Observatory for Ionospheric Research in Kühlungsborn . The subject of his scientific work was specifically the investigation of the outer ionosphere and its regular variations, for which the signals from Soviet earth satellites were evaluated. On this subject he wrote his habilitation thesis in 1962. His scientific sponsor was Ernst August Lauter . From 1964 he was a lecturer and later honorary professor at the University of Rostock. In 1967 he became director at the Institute for Vibration Research of the Heinrich Hertz Institute of the German Academy of Sciences (DAW). From 1972 he was director of the research center for cosmic electronics at the DAW. This research facility was transferred to the Institute for Electronics and in 1981 into the Institute for Cosmos Research of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR . In 1983 he was appointed full professor at the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. In the late 1980s he devoted himself to problems of industrial automation. In addition to his scientific publication activities, he held numerous patents.
Schmelovsky had been a corresponding member of the GDR Academy of Sciences since 1970 and a full member since 1979. In 1976 he received the national prize of the GDR first class as a collective and in 1986 the honorary title of outstanding scientist of the people .
