Edward Belbruno, Professor of Mathematics A former trajectory analyst at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Professor Belbruno pioneered a chaos-theory approach to low-energy space travel, demonstrated in 1991 when he rescued Japan’s Hiten spacecraft and guided it to the Moon. New Scientist named him one of the top 10 most influential space thinkers. His latest work with NASA’s James Green shows how rogue planets from interstellar space can become permanently trapped in the Sun’s orbit.

Her proposed algorithm sets individualized limits by body weight and sex.
