About
Charlie Hanner is a pioneering aerospace engineer whose work focuses on advanced robotic manipulation and planetary mobility systems for space exploration. His research centers on developing highly capable, dexterous manipulators and innovative traversal concepts to enable future human and robotic missions on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Hanner’s major contributions include the conceptualization of TRAVELS, a multimodal mobility platform designed for highly capable planetary traverses, which addresses the challenge of accessing volatile-rich lunar regions critical for long-term human habitation. He also led the development of Dymaflight, a compact yet powerful modular manipulator tailored for small satellite servicing, orbital repair, and surface logistics. Both works, published in 2022, have each garnered 2 citations, reflecting their emerging influence in the field. Hanner’s achievements stand out for their practical, mission-ready approach, bridging the gap between current technology and the demanding requirements of NASA’s Artemis program and future deep-space endeavors. His research is particularly notable for its emphasis on versatility and scalability, offering solutions that can be adapted to a wide range of space applications—from in-orbit maintenance to planetary surface operations.
