TEMPus VoLA: the Timed Epstein Multi-pressure Vessel at Low Accelerations
Holly L. Capelo, Jonas Kühn, Antoine Pommerol +12
The field of planetary system formation relies extensively on our understanding of the aerodynamic interaction between gas and dust in protoplanetary disks. Of particular importanc…
Design of the Life Signature Detection Polarimeter LSDpol
Christoph U. Keller, Frans Snik, C. H. Lucas Patty +11
Many biologically produced chiral molecules such as amino acids and sugars show a preference for left or right handedness (homochirality). Light reflected by biological materials s…
A snapshot full-Stokes spectropolarimeter for detecting life on Earth
Frans Snik, Christoph U. Keller, David S. Doelman +8
We present the design of a point-and-shoot non-imaging full-Stokes spectropolarimeter dedicated to detecting life on Earth from an orbiting platform like the ISS. We specifically a…
Geometric calibration of Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System of ESA's Trace Gas Orbiter
Stepan Tulyakov, Anton Ivanov, Nicolas Thomas +5
There are many geometric calibration methods for "standard" cameras. These methods, however, cannot be used for the calibration of telescopes with large focal lengths and complex o…
Surface charging of thick porous water ice layers relevant for ion sputtering experiments
A. Galli, A. Vorburger, A. Pommerol +6
We use a laboratory facility to study the sputtering properties of centimeter-thick porous water ice subjected to the bombardment of ions and electrons to better understand the for…
Experimental study of surface erosion processes of the icy moons of Jupiter
A. Galli, A. Pommerol, P. Wurz +7
We use an existing laboratory facility for space hardware calibration in vacuum to study the impact of energetic ions on water ice. The experiment is intended to simulate the condi…
