About
Teming Tse is a leading researcher in spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C), with a specialized focus on entry, descent, and landing (EDL) technologies for planetary exploration. His work is central to advancing NASA’s capabilities for safe and precise landing on other worlds. Tse’s most significant contribution is his involvement in the Safe and Precise Landing Integrated Capabilities Evolution (SPLICE) project, which builds upon NASA’s extensive heritage in precision navigation and hazard avoidance. His 2020 paper on hardware-in-the-loop testing for SPLICE suborbital flights (10 citations) documents critical validation of technologies that enable autonomous landing on challenging terrain, supporting both human and robotic exploration missions. More recently, Tse has pioneered innovative testing methodologies, including the use of cable-driven parallel robots for EDL GN&C system evaluation. His 2023 work on the Six Degree-of-Freedom Tendon Actuated Robot (STAR) at NASA Johnson Space Center (2 citations) introduces a novel approach to emulating the complex dynamics of spacecraft descent. By combining hardware-in-the-loop testing with advanced robotics, Tse is helping to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world flight performance, ensuring that future landers can touch down safely on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
