About
Carsten Scharlemann is a leading figure in space propulsion, with a focus on micropropulsion systems for CubeSats and small satellites. His seminal 2018 review, “Space micropropulsion systems for Cubesats and small satellites: From proximate targets to furthermost frontiers,” has garnered over 330 citations, reflecting its pivotal role in charting the rapid evolution of miniaturized, automated propulsion technologies. Scharlemann’s work addresses the critical need for efficient, compact thrusters that enable ambitious interplanetary missions and intensive near-Earth exploration, where small unmanned satellites are now deployed in hundreds. His contributions have helped redefine space technology by advancing robotized, function-centered devices that bring closer the realization of deep-space goals. Beyond this landmark paper, Scharlemann’s research spans electric propulsion, microthrusters, and system integration, making him a key architect of the small-satellite revolution. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what compact spacecraft can achieve, inspiring a new generation of engineers to explore the furthermost frontiers.
