About
Young-Ha Hwang is a leading figure in planetary science and lunar exploration, whose work centers on developing innovative technologies for in-situ resource utilization and subsurface investigation. His most notable contribution is the Lunar Instrumentation for Subsurface Thermal Exploration with Rapidity (LISTER), a groundbreaking robotic probe that actively excavates lunar regolith to measure thermal properties at multiple depths. Deployed on the Blue Ghost Mission 1 to Mare Crisium, LISTER represents the first robotically deployed subsurface thermal probe on the Moon, enabling unprecedented understanding of the lunar interior. This work has garnered significant attention, with its foundational 2025 paper already accumulating 4 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. Hwang’s research bridges engineering and planetary science, advancing our ability to explore extraterrestrial environments. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of space exploration, making him a key contributor to future lunar and planetary missions.
