About
Alejandro Remujo Castro is a leading figure in lunar laser ranging and space geodesy, whose work directly advances humanity’s understanding of the Moon’s interior and fundamental physics. His primary research focuses on the design, deployment, and analysis of next-generation laser retroreflectors for precise lunar distance measurements. Remujo Castro’s major contribution is his instrumental role in developing the MoonLIGHT and MPAc retroreflectors for the European Space Agency, which are set to replace the aging Apollo-era arrays. These new devices, deployed via NASA’s CLPS/PRISM1A mission, promise to improve ranging precision from the current ~1 cm RMS down to sub-millimeter accuracy, enabling unprecedented tests of general relativity and lunar geophysics. His most-cited work (2025, 4 citations) details this breakthrough technology, which builds on 55 years of LLR legacy. Beyond technical design, Remujo Castro has been pivotal in coordinating international partnerships between ESA and NASA, ensuring the success of these critical payloads. His work represents a quantum leap in our ability to probe the Moon’s tidal deformation and gravitational field, cementing his reputation as a key architect of the next era of lunar science.
