Background

About Antonio Pedivellano

As a space engineer and leader in deployable, lightweight space systems, I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space technology. My mission is to develop the next generation of large structures for cutting-edge space missions, leveraging origami-inspired architectures, high-performance materials, and in-space manufacturing processes to bring innovative, high-performance systems to market. At Dcubed, I lead the development of deployable solutions for small satellites, including solar arrays, antennas, and radiators, as well as spearheading our in-space manufacturing initiatives. My work is driven by a commitment to delivering scalable, reliable, and groundbreaking space systems that redefine mission capabilities. Previously, during my Ph.D. at Caltech, my research focused on the dynamics and stability of large deployable spacecraft structures for space solar power applications, integrating experimental techniques with high-fidelity analytical and computational models. I thrive at the intersection of engineering innovation, strategic leadership, and hands-on problem-solving, shaping the future of deployable space structures and their role in advancing space exploration and commercialization. Let’s connect and explore how we can build the future—one deployable at a time.
