About
J. Riedel is a leading figure in planetary radar astronomy and deep-space radio science, whose work has shaped our understanding of the Solar System through innovative radiometric and radar techniques. As a key contributor to NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN), Riedel has advanced the use of ground-based planetary radar for characterizing asteroids, planetary surfaces, and orbital dynamics. Their highly cited 2025 paper, *Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade*, outlines a visionary roadmap for the DSN’s next-generation capabilities, emphasizing how radar and radio science will drive future exploration of near-Earth objects and outer planets. With over 3,000 citations across their body of work, Riedel’s research has been instrumental in refining spacecraft navigation, enabling high-precision gravity science, and supporting planetary defense initiatives. Their contributions have been recognized through multiple NASA group achievement awards and leadership roles in international radar science collaborations. For students and researchers, Riedel’s work exemplifies how ground-based observations and deep-space networks synergize to unlock the secrets of our cosmic neighborhood.
