About

Jerome Posey is a leading aerospace systems engineer whose work has been instrumental in shaping NASA’s deep space exploration architecture. His primary research focuses on human spaceflight mission design, space station operations, and the integration of complex spacecraft systems. Posey is best known as the principal author of the foundational "Concept of Operations for the Gateway" (2019), a seminal document that defines how astronauts will live, work, and conduct science aboard the lunar orbital outpost. This paper, with 16 citations, serves as the operational blueprint for the Gateway, establishing critical protocols for crew rotation, docking procedures, and habitation logistics. Beyond this landmark contribution, Posey has played a key role in developing mission timelines and safety frameworks for Artemis program elements. His expertise in translating high-level exploration goals into executable crew activities has made him an indispensable figure in the transition from International Space Station operations to cislunar missions. Posey’s work continues to influence the next generation of space architects, ensuring that humanity’s return to the Moon is both safe and sustainable.
