Planetary Exploration Horizon 2061 Report, Chapter 4: From planetary exploration goals to technology requirements
Jérémie Lasue, Pierre Bousquet, Michel Blanc +19
This chapter reviews for each province and destination of the Solar System the representative space missions that will have to be designed and implemented by 2061 to address the si…
Captured Small Solar System Bodies in the Ice Giant Region
Timothy R. Holt, Bonnie Buratti, Julie Castillo-Rogez +14
This white paper advocates for the inclusion of small, captured Outer Solar system objects, found in the Ice Giant region in the next Decadal Survey. These objects include the Troj…
Ice Giant Atmospheric Science
Emma K. Dahl, Shawn Brueshaber, Richard Cosentino +24
This white paper, written in support of NASA's 2023-2032 Planetary Decadal Survey, outlines 10 major questions that focus on the origin, evolution, and current processes that shape…
Priority Questions for Jupiter System Science in the 2020s and Opportunities for Europa Clipper
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Tracy Becker, Shawn Brooks +20
This whitepaper identifies important science questions that can be answered through exploration of the Jupiter System, with emphasis on the questions that can be addressed by the E…
The Saturn Ring Skimmer Mission Concept: The next step to explore Saturn's rings, atmosphere, interior, and inner magnetosphere
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Mar Vaquero, Matthew M. Hedman +21
The innovative Saturn Ring Skimmer mission concept enables a wide range of investigations that address fundamental questions about Saturn and its rings, as well as giant planets an…
Exploration Strategy for the Outer Planets 2023-2032: Goals and Priorities
Jeff Moore, Linda Spilker, Morgan Cable +12
The outer solar system has a diverse range of objects, holding important clues about the formation and evolution of our solar system, the emergence and current distribution of life…
Incomplete cooling down of Saturn's A ring at solar equinox: Implication for seasonal thermal inertia and internal structure of ring particles
Ryuji Morishima, Linda Spilker, Shawn Brooks +2
At the solar equinox in August 2009, the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) onboard Cassini showed the lowest Saturn's ring temperatures ever observed. Detailed radiative trans…
Regolith grain sizes of Saturn's rings inferred from Cassini-CIRS far-infrared spectra
Ryuji Morishima, Scott G. Edgington, Linda Spilker
We analyze far-infrared (10-650 cm) emissivity spectra of Saturn's main rings obtained by the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS). In modeling of the spectra, the…
A multilayer model for thermal infrared emission of Saturn's rings. III: Thermal inertia inferred from Cassini CIRS
Ryuji Morishima, Linda Spilker, Keiji Ohtsuki
The thermal inertia values of Saturn's main rings (the A, B, and C rings and the Cassini division) are derived by applying our thermal model to azimuthally scanned spectra taken by…
OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt
Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46
The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…
