About

Dr. Marco Laurenti is a leading researcher in space communication and navigation systems, with a particular focus on lunar and deep-space infrastructure. His most-cited work, "Performance Analysis of Lunar Radio Navigation ODTS System" (2023, 8 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in the next era of space exploration: the need for robust, autonomous navigation around the Moon. In this study, Laurenti provides a rigorous performance assessment of an Orbital Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) framework, demonstrating how radio-based navigation can support the high-precision positioning required for future robotic and human missions. His analysis directly supports the growing international push toward sustainable lunar presence and paves the way for Mars exploration. By quantifying the accuracy and reliability of such systems, Laurenti’s work has become a foundational reference for engineers and mission planners designing the navigation backbone of cislunar operations. His contributions are vital as space agencies move from isolated missions to permanent off-world infrastructure, making him a key voice in the development of the next-generation space communication and navigation ecosystem.
