Martin Lo is a spacecraft trajectory expert currently working at the NASA-owned Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Martin Lo is well known for discovering the Interplanetary Superhighway, also known as the Interplanetary Transport Network. The superhighway is created by combined gravitational forces of several planets that connects planets by a network of “tunnels” and is the most efficient way to navigate the solar system. This continues to be his main area of research. BiographyMartin received his Bachelor of Science in 1975 from the California Institute of Technology in mathematics and his PhD, also in mathematics, in 1981 from Cornell University. He has been a research scientist in the Navigation and Mission Design Section at the JPL since 1986. In 2000, Martin, Kathleen Howell, and other scientists from the JPL developed the LTool program[1][2] to calculate paths near Lagrange points (ITN paths). Compared with previous methods, LTool is capable of predicting orbits up to 50 times faster. For example, the Genesis mission (2001, NASA) trajectory was calculated in days instead of 8 weeks. LTool was nominated for the Discover Innovation Award.[3] Martin appeared in Werner Herzog's film The Wild Blue Yonder. Awards and RecognitionMartin was awarded the NOGLSTP LGBTQ Scientist of the Year in 2012.[4] Nominated for a Discover Innovation Award by Discover magazine for work on the Interplanetary Superhighway.
