Dr. Hadarou Sare is an interdisciplinary research scientist, aerospace and planetary-systems engineer, geospatial specialist, inventor, and technology entrepreneur whose work spans aerospace and planetary systems, GIS and remote sensing, spacecraft dynamics and controls, advanced materials, thermodynamics, autonomous space systems, sensors, and space-resource utilization.

Dr. Sare has conducted research with NASA since 2016. He works with teams at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, including the Solar System Exploration Division and Mechanical Systems Division. His work includes the Mars 2020 Rover landing-site analysis and selection, planetary mapping and remote-sensing studies, small-body and planetary-defense activities, advanced materials, and robotic spacecraft concepts for in-space asteroid mining. He has also contributed to NASA Small Bodies Assessment Group activities related to planetary-defense goals and scientific priorities. He used remote sensing and GIS techniques to detect water and biomarkers on Mars with his team at NASA. 

Dr. Sare is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SpaceTIS, where he leads technology development in autonomous spacecraft, small satellites, reusable launch systems, planetary exploration, sensing, and space-mining technologies. He has designed three innovative small-satellite concepts and is developing robotic spacecraft for in-space asteroid mining, as well as rover and resource extraction on the Moon and Mars. His current efforts also include planning for a low-Earth-orbit asteroid-mining technology demonstration.

Since 2026, Dr. Sare also serve as a U.S. Extended Congressional Delegate, engaging with members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and with international organizations on space technology and public-policy issues. In this capacity and as Founder & CEO of SpaceTIS, he was invited to speak at United Nations Headquarters in New York during activities associated with the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Dr. Sare holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering and three master's degrees: an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering with a concentration in Dynamics and Controls, an M.S. in Geological Sciences with a concentration in Planetary Geosciences, and an M.S. in Geomatics with a concentration in GIS and Remote Sensing. His multidisciplinary academic background also includes studies in mechanical engineering, and Business education at Harvard University (Havard Business School).

Dr. Sare is the recipient of multiple awards including the TIMES Magazine Most Influential Business Leaders, the Top 10 Innovators and Inventors in Aerospace and Defense by Aerospace & Defense Review Magazine; the Top 100 Innovators and Inventors by Top 100 Magazine; the Top 30 Global Leaders by Global Leaders Magazine; the Top 30 Innovators by the Silicon Review Magazine; the Top 10 Most Admired Leaders by Exelon Magazine; the Top 10 Most Inspiring Leaders by CXO Outlook(R) Magazine; the Top 25 Innovators by the Chief's Digest Publication. He also received the TIMES Magazine Most Influential Business Leaders recognition by Entrepreneurs Times Magazine; the NSF I-Corps™ National Team badge recognition by the U.S. National Science Foundation; the Best Space Mining Vehicle / Space Vehicle Design Architecture Award from BUILD Magazine; and the 2026 Civic Leadership Award from the former Governor of Puerto Rico and Shadow Member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He is also one of the recipient of  the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)  Best Paper Award for his research focusing on Dynamics and Control of Spacecraft for Flyby and Rendezvous with Asteroid.

SpaceTIS is engaged in a collaboration/partnership with several people at Florida Space Institute (FSI) and at the University of Central Florida (UCF). This collaboration has started with Dr. Julie Brisset.

Dr. Julie Brisset reviews the feasibility of SpaceTIS' spacecrafts. She has reviewed the feasibility of our small satellite able to explore asteroids' valuable resources for future mining, space objects detection to mitigate future risks of impact.
