Department of Instrumentation and Space Exploration at the Center for Astrobiology (INTA-CSIC). Dr. Rodríguez Manfredi's research is focused on the science and development of space instrumentation for the exploration, and the environmental and geo-biological characterization, of other planets or moons, as well as for the study of the extreme environments of our own Earth. He is the Principal Investigator of the space instrument TWINS (Temperature and Winds for InSight) on NASA's InSight mission (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport), and MEDA (Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer) on NASA's Mars 2020 mission. Both instruments are aimed at characterizing the Martian atmosphere, an objective that is ultimately linked to sending manned missions to the red planet. He has also led or contributed to more than 50 research and development projects, led or participated in more than 200 scientific publications, and given more than a hundred scientific conferences and lectures, reflecting his strong commitment to the dissemination of science and technology.
