About

Oleg Korablev is a leading figure in planetary instrumentation, whose work bridges the gap between Earth-based exoplanet detection and in-situ exploration of the Moon and Mars. His primary research areas span infrared spectroscopy, robotic planetary exploration, and exoplanet transit surveys. Korablev’s most significant contributions lie in the development of compact, high-performance spectrometers for space missions. He led the design of the ISEM (Infrared Spectrometer for ExoMars), a mast-mounted AOTF spectrometer for assessing surface mineralogy on Mars, and the LIS-TV-RPM, a lunar infrared spectrometer for analyzing regolith hydration. His work on a Fourier-transform interferometer with a single-axis robot for Mars surface operations further showcases his expertise in adapting laboratory-grade techniques for extreme environments. Beyond planetary science, Korablev has spearheaded exoplanet surveys using robotic facilities at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, reporting eight new exoplanet candidates. With his most cited paper accumulating 19 citations, his impact is defined not by sheer volume but by the foundational nature of his instrument designs, which enable future missions to answer fundamental questions about planetary composition and habitability.
