About

Gregory Carr is a pioneering aerospace engineer whose work is central to humanity’s future on the Moon and beyond. His primary research focuses on power systems for planetary surface applications, specifically high-voltage transmission and conversion technologies that can operate over vast, rugged distances. Carr’s major contribution lies in developing tethered power architectures that enable efficient, kilometer-scale energy distribution—a critical enabler for sustained human settlement, in-situ resource utilization, and robotic exploration. His most cited paper, “A High Voltage Tethered Power System for Planetary Surface Applications” (2022), has garnered 5 citations, establishing a foundational reference in this emerging niche. This work directly addresses one of the most pressing challenges in space infrastructure: delivering reliable power across the lunar landscape without the mass penalties of traditional cabling. Carr’s research is not merely theoretical; it provides a practical pathway for future missions, bridging the gap between concept and deployment. His achievements position him as a key voice in the next era of space exploration, where power is the currency of survival and expansion.
