About
M. Ebrahim Mohammadi is a leading aerospace engineer specializing in autonomous navigation and hazard detection systems for planetary landers. His work focuses on developing low-size, weight, and power (SWaP) solutions that enable safe, precise landings on the Moon and other celestial bodies. As a key contributor at Astrobotic, Mohammadi has advanced two critical technologies: the Hazard Detection (HD) LiDAR system, flight-tested in Mojave Desert and lunar analog sites to identify safe landing zones in real-time, and the UltraNav visual relative navigation system, a modular, standalone platform for onboard processing in space. His 2025 paper on the HD LiDAR system has already garnered 2 citations, while his 2024 work on UltraNav demonstrates the shift toward smaller, cost-effective missions. These contributions are foundational to NASA’s Artemis program and commercial lunar exploration, enabling landers to autonomously avoid hazards and achieve meter-level accuracy. Mohammadi’s innovations bridge the gap between flagship missions and accessible space technology, making him a pivotal figure in the next era of planetary exploration.
