About

Dr. Yuchen She is a leading researcher in the field of in-orbit robotic assembly and space structures, with a particular focus on enabling the construction of large-scale space infrastructure. Her work addresses the critical challenge of building massive systems—such as space telescopes and solar arrays—that are too large to launch in one piece. She has made major contributions by developing mission design and planning frameworks for robotic assembly, including strategies for segmented mirror telescopes and innovative orb-shaped solar arrays. Her 2020 paper on orb-shaped solar array dynamics and assembly strategies has garnered 51 citations, while her work on in-orbit robotic assembly for large space telescopes has earned 26 citations. Notably, her research on the latter introduces a segmented mirror design and a robotic assembly concept that optimizes manipulator workspace coverage to reduce assembly time. Dr. She’s work is pivotal for future space missions, offering practical solutions for constructing telescopes and power systems that will advance astronomy and deep-space exploration.
