About
Jasmeet K. Dhaliwal is a planetary scientist whose work bridges the gap between robotic exploration and human spaceflight, with a focus on the Moon and Mars. Her research centers on planetary surface operations, sample return mission architectures, and the geological analysis of extraterrestrial terrains. She is best known for her seminal 2014 study on robotic traverse and sample return strategies for a lunar farside mission to the Schrödinger basin, which has garnered 46 citations and remains a foundational reference for mission planners targeting the Moon’s unexplored regions. This work demonstrated how autonomous rovers could navigate complex cratered landscapes to collect high-priority samples, directly informing NASA’s Artemis and commercial lander concepts. Beyond this, Dhaliwal has contributed to Mars rover operations and impact cratering studies, with her publications influencing both scientific understanding and mission design. Her ability to translate geological questions into actionable exploration strategies has made her a key voice in planetary science, earning her recognition from space agencies and academic institutions alike. For students and researchers, Dhaliwal’s work exemplifies how rigorous field analysis can shape the future of space exploration.
