Moonraker -- Enceladus Multiple Flyby Mission
O. Mousis, A. Bouquet, Y. Langevin +50
Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could b…
In situ Exploration of the Giant Planets
Olivier Mousis, David H. Atkinson, Richard Ambrosi +27
Remote sensing observations suffer significant limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. This impacts our knowledge…
An Impacting Descent Probe for Europa and the other Galilean Moons of Jupiter
P. Wurz, D. Lasi, N. Thomas +10
We present a study of an impacting descent probe that increases the science return of spacecraft orbiting or passing an atmosphere-less planetary body of the solar system, such as…
Extremely high reflection of solar wind protons as neutral hydrogen atoms from regolith in space
Martin Wieser, Stas Barabash, Yoshifumi Futaana +7
We report on measurements of extremely high reflection rates of solar wind particles from regolith-covered lunar surfaces. Measurements by the Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SAR…
Studying the Lunar-Solar Wind Interaction with the SARA Experiment aboard the Indian Lunar Mission Chandrayaan-1
Anil Bhardwaj, Stas Barabash, M. B. Dhanya +7
The first Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 was launched on 22 October 2008. The Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) instrument onboard Chandrayaan-1 consists of an energetic…
Protons in the near-lunar wake observed by the Sub-keV Atom Reflection Analyzer on board Chandrayaan-1
Yoshifumi Futaana, Stas Barabash, Martin Wieser +7
Significant proton fluxes were detected in the near wake region of the Moon by an ion mass spectrometer on board Chandrayaan-1. The energy of these nightside protons is slightly hi…
