About
Justin C. Cassidy is a leading aerospace engineer whose work bridges advanced detector technology and space-based photovoltaic characterization. His primary research focuses on developing compact, dual-band thermal imagers using strained-layer-superlattice (SLS) detectors, and on precise air mass zero (AM0) measurements for next-generation space solar cells. Cassidy’s most notable contribution is the compact thermal imager (CTI), a dual-band SLS-based instrument installed on the exterior of the International Space Station in 2018 as part of the Robotic Refueling Mission 3. This instrument serves as a critical pathfinder for future space-based thermal imaging systems, demonstrating how advanced detector materials can be deployed in compact, ruggedized packages for orbital platforms. His work on the NASA Glenn Research Center solar cell experiment, flown aboard the ISS, has enabled more accurate AM0 measurements essential for evaluating emerging photovoltaic technologies for space applications. With his most cited paper garnering 13 citations, Cassidy’s research is foundational for engineers developing the next generation of space instruments—from thermal imagers for Earth observation to high-efficiency solar cells for deep-space missions.
