About

Dr. M. Mojarradi is a pioneering researcher in advanced power and energy systems for space applications, with a particular focus on wireless power transfer and millimeter-wave technologies. His most influential work, the 2008 paper "Millimeter-wave wireless power transfer technology for space applications" (18 citations), lays the groundwork for compact RF-based power transmission systems critical to future lunar and deep-space missions. This research addresses a fundamental challenge in space exploration: enabling rapid, on-demand power delivery to remote assets without physical connections. Mojarradi's contributions are especially vital for lunar surface operations, where his proposed technologies could support rovers, habitats, and scientific instruments by transmitting power wirelessly across challenging terrain. His work bridges the gap between terrestrial wireless power concepts and the extreme demands of space environments, including vacuum, temperature extremes, and radiation. By advancing the efficiency and miniaturization of millimeter-wave power transfer systems, Mojarradi has helped define a key enabling technology for next-generation space architectures. His research continues to influence engineers and mission planners seeking to reduce reliance on traditional wired power distribution in space, making him a notable figure in the field of space power systems.
