Dr. Yanping Guo is a space mission designer, Mission Design Section supervisor, and member of the Principal Professional Staff at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, where she started as a post-doctoral fellow in 1992 after receiving her Ph.D. in physics.  She was the mission design lead for a number of NASA mission proposals, studies, and flight projects.  She created an innovative mission design for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission and has been the Mission Design and Navigation Manager since 2008, overseeing the APL Mission Design and JPL Navigation teams for the mission’s development, launch, and flight operations.  As the Mission Design Lead for NASA’s New Horizons mission for 20 years, she is responsible for New Horizons mission design over the full mission life cycle from development to mission operation, and she designed the New Horizons launch, mission trajectory, comprehensive Pluto-Charon flyby, and close encounter with the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth. Dr. Guo is an AIAA Associate Fellow and member of the International Symposium Space Flight Dynamics Program Committee. She was the Chair of the AIAA Astrodynamics Technical Committee from 2012-2014 and a Committee member from 2008-2020. Asteroid 28513 is named Guo in honor of her New Horizons mission design.
