About
Torsten Henning is a leading authority in space micropropulsion, with his work fundamentally shaping the design and capability of CubeSats and small satellites. His most-cited paper, "Space micropropulsion systems for Cubesats and small satellites: From proximate targets to furthermost frontiers" (2018, 330 citations), provides a definitive roadmap for the field, charting the rapid evolution from simple attitude control to enabling ambitious interplanetary missions. Henning’s research focuses on the miniaturization of propulsion systems, emphasizing the shift toward automated, robotized, and function-centered devices that are redefining space technology. By demonstrating how these compact systems can power intense near-Earth exploration and deep-space probes, his work has been instrumental in the paradigm shift toward launching hundreds of small, capable satellites. His contributions have not only advanced the technical frontier but have also made space more accessible, proving that small platforms can achieve what was once reserved for large, costly spacecraft.
