About

I. V. Dokuchaev is a leading researcher in planetary instrumentation and space exploration, with a focused expertise in the development of advanced spectroscopic systems for lunar and planetary surface analysis. His major contributions center on the design and calibration of acousto-optic infrared spectrometers, particularly the LIS-TV-RPM instrument, which enables mineralogical analysis and hydration assessment of lunar regolith directly from a lander’s robotic arm working zone. This work, detailed in his most-cited 2021 paper (6 citations), demonstrates his role in bridging remote sensing and in-situ sample verification—a critical capability for future robotic and human missions to the Moon. Dokuchaev’s achievements include the successful integration of TV support for real-time target selection, enhancing operational efficiency during surface exploration. His research has direct implications for resource identification and geological mapping on airless bodies, positioning him as a key contributor to the next generation of lunar exploration technologies. For students and researchers, his work exemplifies the practical engineering and scientific synergy required to advance planetary science from concept to flight-ready hardware.
