(written from a Production point of view)
Joe Menosky is a writer and producer who worked in those roles on four different Star Trek series.
Menosky started his Star Trek career as executive story editor during the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He was promoted to co-producer for the fifth season. He worked as producer, supervising producer, and co-executive producer on Star Trek: Voyager, and as co-executive producer on the first seven episodes of Star Trek: Discovery.
During his time with the franchise, he moved to Europe for three years. There, he wrote and developed television pilots for studio Gaumont in France, while continuing to write scripts for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and then Star Trek: Voyager, on a freelance basis. When he came back to the United States, Menosky joined Star Trek: Voyager in its third season as a writer and producer. Menosky is probably best known as the writer who started inserting the number 47 into his scripts, a tradition carried on by Braga, Ronald D. Moore and others. He is also well known for writing "high-concept" scripts. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (2nd ed., p. 295))
Menosky commented on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine characters: "You can see right away they're not the perfectly engineered humans of TNG. They seem more real. I don't know if that makes them as attractive to viewers or not. But they are really different, and they represent a different way to tell a story. And it was definitely a conscious choice to create that potential for conflict". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. ?))

Sep 17, 2023 · The number 47 is a recurring Easter egg in the Star Trek franchise, with over 60 references in shows like TNG and DS9, and over 100 in Voyager.
