About
Dr. Kar-Ming Cheung is a leading researcher in deep space communications and navigation systems, with a primary focus on Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) infrastructure for lunar and Martian exploration. His most notable contribution is the development of ground-assisted PNT architectures that enable accurate, autonomous navigation for orbiting and surface users on the Moon and Mars. This work directly supports NASA’s Lunar Communication Relay and Navigation System, a critical component of the Artemis program and future human missions. Dr. Cheung’s research addresses the fundamental challenge of providing reliable PNT services in environments without GPS, designing long-term communication and navigation networks that can sustain both robotic and human exploration. His 2024 paper on this topic has already garnered significant attention, reflecting the urgency and relevance of his work. Through his innovative system designs, Dr. Cheung is helping to build the navigational backbone for humanity’s return to the Moon and eventual journey to Mars, making him a key figure in the next era of space exploration.
