NovaMoon: A Strategic Lunar Reference Station for Positioning, Timing, and Largely Enhanced Science in the Earth-Moon System
Serena Molli, Agnès Fienga, Pascale Defraigne +82
The renewed interest in lunar exploration and the development of future lunar communication and navigation services highlight the need for a precise, stable, and interoperable geod…
GENESIS: Co-location of Geodetic Techniques in Space
Pacôme Delva, Zuheir Altamimi, Alejandro Blazquez +39
Improving and homogenizing time and space reference systems on Earth and, more directly, realizing the Terrestrial Reference Frame (TRF) with an accuracy of 1mm and a long-term sta…
After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission
Thomas S. Statler, Sabina D. Raducan, Olivier S. Barnouin +38
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the first full-scale test of an asteroid deflection technology. Results from the hypervelocity kinetic impact and Earth-based obse…
Rotation-induced granular motion on the secondary component of binary asteroids: Application to the DART impact on Dimorphos
Harrison Agrusa, Ronald Ballouz, Alex J. Meyer +6
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission will kinetically impact Dimorphos, the secondary component of the Didymos binary asteroid system, which will excite Dimorphos…
The Excited Spin State of Dimorphos Resulting from the DART Impact
Harrison F. Agrusa, Ioannis Gkolias, Kleomenis Tsiganis +12
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is a planetary defense-driven test of a kinetic impactor on Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos.…
The radioscience LaRa instrument onboard ExoMars 2020 to investigate the rotation and interior of Mars
Veronique Dehant, Sebastien Le Maistre, Rose-Marie Baland +20
LaRa (Lander Radioscience) is an experiment on the ExoMars 2020 mission that uses the Doppler shift on the radio link due to the motion of the ExoMars platform tied to the surface…
The environmental effects of very large bolide impacts on early Mars explored with a hierarchy of numerical models
Martin Turbet, Cédric Gillmann, François Forget +4
We use a hierarchy of numerical models (a 3-D Global Climate Model, a 1-D radiative-convective model and a 2-D Mantle Dynamics model) to explore the environmental effects of very l…
The Castalia Mission to Main Belt Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro
C. Snodgrass, G. H. Jones, H. Boehnhardt +41
We describe Castalia, a proposed mission to rendezvous with a Main Belt Comet (MBC), 133P/Elst-Pizarro. MBCs are a recently discovered population of apparently icy bodies within th…
Accretion of Saturn's mid-sized moons during the viscous spreading of young massive rings: solving the paradox of silicate-poor rings versus silicate-rich moons
Sébastien Charnoz, Aurélien Crida, Julie C. Castillo-Rogez +7
The origin of Saturn's inner mid-sized moons (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea) and Saturn's rings is debated. Charnoz et al. (2010) introduced the idea that the smallest i…
Titan's Obliquity as evidence for a subsurface ocean?
Rose-Marie Baland, Tim Van Hoolst, Marie Yseboodt +1
On the basis of gravity and radar observations with the Cassini spacecraft, the moment of inertia of Titan and the orientation of Titan's rotation axis have been estimated in recen…
