About
N. Hasebe’s research career is defined by a deep commitment to advancing lunar and planetary exploration through innovative robotics and instrumentation. His core contributions lie in developing technologies for surface mobility and scientific measurement on extraterrestrial bodies. Notably, Hasebe has focused on the design and operation of rovers for low-gravity environments, such as the Moon. His most cited work, “Lander and rover exploration on the lunar surface: A study for SELENE-B mission” (2005, 22 citations), outlines a foundational mission architecture for combined lander and rover operations. He further advanced rover technology with a novel visual remote operation system for a low-gravity planet rover (2019, 5 citations), which features a unique center-of-gravity (COG) shift box enabling high-speed, stable driving on challenging terrain. Beyond robotics, Hasebe contributed to space science instrumentation by developing an automated multisample scanning system for nuclear track etched detectors (2008, 10 citations), a tool critical for cosmic ray and radiation studies. Through these focused efforts, Hasebe has made tangible contributions to the practical engineering and operational concepts that underpin future robotic exploration of the Moon and other low-gravity worlds.
