About
Dr. Roberta Fusaro is a leading aerospace engineer whose work is central to Europe’s strategic planning for next-generation space transportation. Her research focuses on technology roadmapping and prioritization for ambitious exploration initiatives, particularly for hypersonic and re-entry systems. Dr. Fusaro’s major contribution lies in developing structured frameworks to guide complex, long-term space programs. Her most cited work, "Approach to technology prioritization in support of moon initiatives in the framework of ESA exploration technology roadmaps" (13 citations), provides a critical methodology for aligning technological development with the European Space Agency’s lunar goals. This is complemented by her foundational study, "Technology Roadmaps Preparation For European Hypersonic And Re-Entry Space Transportation Systems" (6 citations), which addresses a key gap: unlike other spacefaring nations, Europe has limited experience with atmospheric re-entry and landing on Earth or other planets. By creating these systematic roadmaps, Dr. Fusaro helps bridge that gap, enabling Europe to better support commercial and governmental initiatives for reusable and planetary access vehicles. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the strategic planning behind Europe’s future in space exploration.
