About
Dr. Max Lange is a visionary in the field of space architecture and orbital infrastructure, with a focus on cost-effective platforms for human spaceflight. His most-cited work, "The Orbital-Hub: Low Cost Platform for Human Spaceflight after ISS" (2016, 4 citations), challenges the traditional, budget-heavy model of the International Space Station (ISS). Lange proposes a paradigm shift toward modular, commercially-driven orbital hubs that prioritize simplicity and affordability over political compromise. This contribution is pivotal for post-ISS planning, offering a blueprint for sustainable human presence in low Earth orbit. While his citation count is modest, his ideas resonate deeply with researchers and policymakers seeking to democratize space access. Lange’s work stands out for its pragmatic engineering vision, bridging the gap between current governmental programs and future commercial ventures. His advocacy for low-cost platforms has influenced discussions on next-generation space stations, making him a key thinker in the transition from state-funded mega-projects to agile, private-sector-led orbital habitats.
