About
Dr. Sandra Lagabarre is a leading figure in planetary robotics, specializing in the extreme challenges of low-gravity locomotion. Her work is central to the upcoming JAXA Martian Moon Exploration (MMX) mission, where she has made her most significant contributions. Her highly cited 2022 paper, "MMX Rover Simulation - Robotic Simulations for Phobos Operations," details the groundbreaking simulations used to develop the first-ever wheeled rover designed for a milli-g environment. This research is critical for ensuring the rover can successfully traverse the surface of Phobos, a feat never before attempted. With 15 citations on this pivotal work, Dr. Lagabarre’s impact is already being felt in the field of extraterrestrial robotics. Her expertise in simulation and modeling directly supports the CNES and DLR collaboration, positioning her as a key architect for future missions to small bodies. For any student or researcher fascinated by the intersection of robotics and space exploration, Dr. Lagabarre’s work represents the cutting edge of what is possible.
