Considerations on the process of target selection for the Comet Interceptor mission
C. Snodgrass, E. Mazzotta Epifani, C. Tubiana +27
Comet Interceptor is an ESA science mission with payload contributions from ESA Member States and with an international participation by JAXA. It is the first mission that is being…
Venus Life Finder Habitability Mission: Motivation, Science Objectives, and Instrumentation
Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Christopher E. Carr +10
For over half a century, scientists have contemplated the potential existence of life within the clouds of Venus. Unknown chemistry leaves open the possibility that certain regions…
SISPO: Space Imaging Simulator for Proximity Operations
Mihkel Pajusalu, Iaroslav Iakubivskyi, Gabriel Jörg Schwarzkopf +8

Low Albedo Surfaces of Lava Worlds
Zahra Essack, Sara Seager, Mihkel Pajusalu
Hot super Earths are exoplanets with short orbital periods ( 10 days), heated by their host stars to temperatures high enough for their rocky surfaces to become molten. A few ho…
Laboratory studies on the viability of life in H-dominated exoplanet atmospheres
S. Seager, J. Huang, J. J. Petkowski +1
Theory and observation for the search for life on exoplanets via atmospheric "biosignature gases" is accelerating, motivated by the capabilities of the next generation of space- an…
E-sail test payload of ESTCube-1 nanosatellite
Jouni Envall, Pekka Janhunen, Petri Toivanen +17
The scientific mission of ESTCube-1, launched in May 2013, is to measure the Electric solar wind sail (E-sail) force in orbit. The experiment is planned to push forward the develop…
