About
Dr. Mercedes Alonso-Alonso is a leading aerospace engineer specializing in on-orbit servicing, space robotics, and satellite refueling technologies. Her most prominent contribution is her work on the EROSS (European Robotic Orbital Support Services) project, where she has been instrumental in developing the mission concept for an in-orbit demonstration that will capture, refuel, and upgrade client satellites. Her 2024 paper on this subject, which has already garnered 6 citations, outlines the critical phases A and B1 results, detailing the robotic systems and operational strategies needed to extend satellite lifespans and reduce space debris. This work positions her at the forefront of Europe’s push toward sustainable space operations, with potential impacts on commercial satellite servicing and orbital logistics. Dr. Alonso-Alonso’s research bridges the gap between theoretical robotics and practical mission design, making her a key figure in advancing autonomous in-space assembly and maintenance. Her achievements underscore a commitment to transforming how we manage and preserve assets in orbit.
