About
Jeffrey S. Hojinicki is a leading voice in the evolution of space propulsion, with his work centering on the practical integration of Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) systems for next-generation spacecraft. His most cited paper, "Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Tug Power System Considerations" (2011), serves as a foundational reference for engineers designing high-power tugs capable of moving large payloads between orbits. Building on the established use of SEP for station-keeping, Hojinicki’s research critically examines the power system architectures—including solar array sizing, energy storage, and thermal management—required to scale this technology for demanding commercial, military, and NASA human exploration missions. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical efficiency and real-world engineering constraints, offering clear design trade-offs for mission planners. With 10 citations, this work remains a key resource for those developing the infrastructure for cislunar transport and beyond, cementing Hojinicki’s role in advancing the practical roadmap for high-power electric propulsion.
