Science goals and new mission concepts for future exploration of Titan's atmosphere geology and habitability: Titan POlar Scout/orbitEr and In situ lake lander and DrONe explorer (POSEIDON)
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +61
In response to ESA Voyage 2050 announcement of opportunity, we propose an ambitious L-class mission to explore one of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System, Saturn largest m…
Science goals and mission concepts for a future orbital and in situ exploration of Titan
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +27
In this white paper, we present a cross-section of important scientific questions that remain partially or completely unanswered, ranging from Titan exosphere to the deep interior,…
Stratigraphy of Aeolis Dorsa, Mars: stratigraphic context of the great river deposits
Edwin S. Kite, Alan D. Howard, Antoine S. Lucas +3
Unraveling the stratigraphic record is the key to understanding ancient climate and past climate changes on Mars. River deposits when placed in stratigraphic order could constrain…
Resolving the era of river-forming climates on Mars using stratigraphic logs of river-deposit dimensions
Edwin S. Kite, Alan D. Howard, Antoine Lucas +1
River deposits are one of the main lines of evidence that tell us that Mars once had a climate different from today, and so changes in river deposits with time tell us something ab…
Texture and composition of Titan's equatorial sand seas inferred from Cassini SAR data: Implications for aeolian transport and dune morphodynamics
Antoine Lucas, Sébastien Rodriguez, Florentin Lemonnier +5
The texture, composition, and morphology of dunes observed in the equatorial regions of Titan may reflect present and/or past climatic conditions. Determining the physio-chemical p…
Methane storms as a driver of Titan's dune orientation
Benjamin Charnay, Erika Barth, Scot Rafkin +5
Titan's equatorial regions are covered by eastward propagating linear dunes. This direction is opposite to mean surface winds simulated by Global Climate Models (GCMs), which are o…
