John M. Horack

This researcher works on space technology and exploration topics, including spacecraft and space station design, nuclear thermal propulsion systems, planetary exploration missions (e.g., Mars and Enceladus), and the microbiology of built environments in space such as the International Space Station. Work spans engineering hardware development, mission concept design, and applied life-science studies related to human spaceflight environments. Much of the recent output involves collaborative, applied projects tied to commercial space stations and propulsion testbeds rather than purely theoretical physics or astronomy.

Publication output was low and irregular in the middle of the decade but has grown sharply in the most recent two years, with 2025 showing the highest yearly count.
