Prospects for Mapping Temporal Height Variations of the Seasonal CO2 Snow/Ice Caps at the Martian Poles by Co-registration of MOLA Profiles
Haifeng Xiao, Alexander Stark, Gregor Steinbrügge +3
We investigate the feasibility and demonstrate the merits of using Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) profiles to retrieve seasonal height variations of CO2 snow/ice cap in Mars'…
White Paper on the Case for Landed Mercury Science
Paul K. Byrne, David T. Blewett, Nancy L. Chabot +5
We advocate for establishing key scientific priorities for the future of Mercury exploration, including the development of specific science goals for a landed mission. We support t…
Science Objectives of the Ganymede Laser Altimeter (GALA) for the JUICE Mission
Jun Kimura, Hauke Hussmann, Shunichi Kamata +11
Laser altimetry is a powerful tool for addressing the major objectives of planetary physics and geodesy, and have been applied in planetary explorations of the Moon, Mars, Mercury,…
The reference frames of Mercury after MESSENGER
Alexander Stark, Jürgen Oberst, Frank Preusker +3
We report on recent refinements and the current status for the rotational state models and the reference frame of the planet Mercury. We summarize the performed measurements of Mer…
Mercury's resonant rotation from secular orbital elements
Alexander Stark, Jürgen Oberst, Hauke Hussmann
We used recently produced Solar System ephemerides, which incorporate two years of ranging observations to the MESSENGER spacecraft, to extract the secular orbital elements for Mer…
