About
Dr. Ronn Moore is a leading figure in advanced spaceflight computing, whose work is pivotal to NASA’s next-generation autonomous landing systems. His primary research focuses on high-performance space computing, precision landing, and hazard avoidance (PL&HA), where he bridges the gap between cutting-edge hardware and mission-critical software. Moore’s major contribution lies in his co-design approach for the Safe and Precise Landing Integrated Capabilities Evolution (SPLICE) project, which integrates high-performance multi-core processors—developed under NASA’s HPSC initiative—with real-time terrain-relative navigation and hazard detection algorithms. His 2019 paper on this co-design methodology, which has garnered 5 citations, serves as a foundational reference for engineers developing future lunar and planetary landers. By demonstrating how to optimize computational throughput within the strict power and radiation constraints of space, Moore has directly enabled more precise, safer landings on the Moon and Mars. His work is not only technically rigorous but also strategically vital, positioning NASA to achieve autonomous landing accuracy within meters, a capability essential for sustained exploration and sample return missions.
