About

Romain Caujolle is a leading researcher in space systems engineering, with a primary focus on in-space manufacturing, assembly, and refuelling (ISAM) technologies. His work addresses a fundamental shift in space architecture—moving from Earth-built satellites to on-orbit construction using robotics, autonomy, and modular systems. Caujolle’s most cited paper, "Outcomes of the PERIOD project on In-Space Manufacturing, Assembly and Refuelling Technologies" (2023), serves as a cornerstone publication in the field, documenting the European PERIOD project’s advancements in enabling sustainable space infrastructure. This work has already garnered 7 citations, reflecting its timely relevance as space agencies and commercial entities pursue long-duration missions and orbital servicing. Caujolle’s contributions are pivotal in demonstrating how on-orbit assembly can reduce launch costs, extend satellite lifetimes, and enable larger structures unconstrained by fairing sizes. His research bridges the gap between theoretical modularity concepts and practical robotic implementation, positioning him as a key voice in the emerging ISAM ecosystem. For students and researchers, Caujolle’s work offers a clear roadmap for the future of space logistics—one where satellites are no longer disposable but repairable, upgradable, and assembled beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
