Modeling transmission windows in Titan's lower troposphere: Implications for infrared spectrometers aboard future aerial and surface missions
Paul Corlies, George D. McDonald, Alexander G. Hayes +10
From orbit, the visibility of Titan's surface is limited to a handful of narrow spectral windows in the near-infrared (near-IR), primarily from the absorption of methane gas. This…
Deep Atmosphere of Venus Probe as a Mission Priority for the Upcoming Decade
James B. Garvin, Giada N. Arney, Sushil Atreya +7
This is a white paper submitted to the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey. The deep atmosphere of Venus is largely unexplored and yet may harbor clues to the evoluti…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
On-deck seismology: Lessons from InSight for future planetary seismology
Mark P. Panning, W. Tom Pike, Philippe Lognonné +12
Before deploying to the surface of Mars, the short-period (SP) seismometer of the InSight mission operated on deck for a total of 48 hours. This dataset can be used to understand h…
Dust Devils on Titan
Brian Jackson, Ralph D. Lorenz, Jason W. Barnes +1
Conditions on Saturn's moon Titan suggest dust devils, which are convective, dust-laden plumes, may be active. Although the exact nature of dust on Titan is unclear, previous obser…
