Lava Lakes on Io: crust age and implications for thermal output
Alessandro Mura, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, Federico Tosi +12
Recent observations by the JIRAM instrument onboard NASA's Juno mission have confirmed that many of Io's volcanic hot spots are active lava lakes, characterized by a colder central…
Science goals and new mission concepts for future exploration of Titan's atmosphere geology and habitability: Titan POlar Scout/orbitEr and In situ lake lander and DrONe explorer (POSEIDON)
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +61
In response to ESA Voyage 2050 announcement of opportunity, we propose an ambitious L-class mission to explore one of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System, Saturn largest m…
Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30
Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
Persephone: A Pluto-System Orbiter and Kuiper Belt Explorer
Carly Howett, Stuart Robbins, Bryan J. Holler +40
Persephone is a NASA concept mission study that addresses key questions raised by New Horizons' encounters with Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), with arguably the most important being "…
Maximizing the value of Solar System data through Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructures
Jani Radebaugh, Bradley J. Thomson, Brent Archinal +15
Planetary spatial data returned by spacecraft, including images and higher-order products such as mosaics, controlled basemaps, and digital elevation models (DEMs), are of critical…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
