About
Tommaso Misuri is a leading figure in advanced space propulsion, with a primary focus on electric propulsion systems for deep-space exploration. His research centers on the development and integration of high-power electric thrusters for nuclear-electric space tugs, particularly the International Nuclear Power and Propulsion System (INPPS). Misuri’s major contribution lies in his comprehensive analysis and selection of optimal electric propulsion architectures for flagship interplanetary missions, as demonstrated in his 2023 review on clustering electric thrusters for INPPS flights to Mars and Europa. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, provides a critical framework for scaling propulsion systems to meet the demanding requirements of crewed and robotic missions beyond Earth orbit. His achievements include advancing the practical design of clustered thruster arrays, enabling the high-thrust, long-duration operations necessary for human exploration of the outer solar system. Misuri’s research is pivotal for future flagship missions, offering a viable pathway to sustainable interplanetary travel and solidifying his role as a key contributor to next-generation space transportation.
