About
Dan Lev is a leading figure in the field of space propulsion, with a particular focus on micropropulsion systems for CubeSats and small satellites. His seminal 2018 review paper, "Space micropropulsion systems for Cubesats and small satellites: From proximate targets to furthermost frontiers," has garnered over 330 citations, underscoring its foundational role in the field. Lev’s major contributions include mapping the rapid evolution of miniaturized, automated, and robotized propulsion technologies, which have redefined the capabilities of small spacecraft. His work demonstrates how these systems enable ambitious interplanetary missions and intensive near-Earth exploration, transforming small unmanned satellites from experimental platforms into workhorses of modern space science. By synthesizing advances in electric, chemical, and cold-gas microthrusters, Lev has provided a critical roadmap for engineers and researchers, accelerating the deployment of hundreds of small satellites annually. His research is instrumental in democratizing access to space, making him a pivotal voice in the ongoing revolution of compact, high-efficiency propulsion.
