About

Dr. Pelle Rangsten is a leading expert in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for space propulsion, with a focused career dedicated to advancing satellite attitude control technologies. His most notable contribution is his pioneering work on the PRECISE project, which developed a MEMS-based monopropellant micro Chemical Propulsion System (µCPS). This groundbreaking system enables highly accurate attitude control for satellites, a critical capability for advanced space mission concepts such as formation flying. While his highly specialized work has garnered targeted citations—with his seminal 2013 paper on PRECISE’s preliminary results receiving 4 citations—its impact is profound within the niche field of micropropulsion. Dr. Rangsten’s research bridges the gap between MEMS fabrication and space-grade propulsion, offering a scalable, precise solution for next-generation small satellites. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in micro-scale space systems, making him a key figure in the development of future autonomous satellite constellations.
