Planetary Atmospheric, Surface, and Interior Science Using Radio and Laser Links

Session ID#: 74030

Session Description:
Solar system exploration has been advanced over the past five decades via Radio Science techniques to study planetary and solar phenomena as well as fundamental physics. The scope of this session includes investigations within the solar system as well as tests of fundamental physics to expand the frontiers of solar system exploration using radio and optical science to address the study of ocean worlds, planetary and small body interiors, the dynamics, composition, and thermal structure of planetary atmospheres, characterizing the scattering, electrical, and other properties of planetary surfaces, and research in fundamental physics and solar system dynamics. Relevant technology topics include the design of small spacecraft networks and constellations, advances in flight and ground instrumentation, advances in space clock technologies, novel communications architectures including optical links, advances in radio and laser technologies, and new techniques and instrumentation for entry probe radio science.
