About

Dr. Anthony L. Genova is a leading aerospace engineer specializing in astrodynamics, lunar communications, and cislunar navigation. His most impactful work focuses on the critical infrastructure needed for sustained human presence beyond low-Earth orbit. In his highly regarded 2018 paper, "Establishment and design of an earth-moon communications network in lunar polar orbit," Dr. Genova pioneered the analysis and design of multi-satellite communications constellations in lunar polar orbit. This foundational research addresses the essential challenge of providing continuous, high-bandwidth relay links between Earth and robotic or crewed assets on the lunar surface. By modeling both single and multi-satellite network architectures, his work directly supports the operational backbone for future Artemis missions and permanent lunar outposts. With over 5 citations on this specific paper and a growing body of work in orbital mechanics, Dr. Genova’s contributions are vital to enabling the next era of deep-space exploration, ensuring that astronauts and rovers remain connected to Earth as humanity returns to the Moon.
