The Future of Planetary Atmospheric, Surface, and Interior Science Using Radio and Laser Links

Session ID#: 158799

Session Description:
Many missions have exploited radio science as a tool to investigate the solar system and to perform tests of fundamental physics. This session welcomes presentations on radio and laser link techniques for the study of:  planetary and small body interiors, including icy moons; the dynamics, composition, and thermal structure of their atmospheres and ionospheres; the shape and topography of such bodies; the scattering, electrical, and other properties of planetary surfaces; solar system dynamics and the interaction between planetary bodies; details of the solar wind; and fundamental physics theories. The session addresses both current or future application of these techniques, as well as combining different datasets. Science investigations motivated by recent U.S. Planetary Science Decadal Survey white papers are of particular interest. The importance of Radio Science techniques is reflected in the Origins, Worlds, and Life Decadal Report. A prime science objective of the recommended Uranus Orbiter and Probe Flagship mission would be to probe the planet’s interior, which would be achieved via a radio science techniques. Several other Priority Science Questions have aspects that would be addressed by future Radio Science measurements. Relevant technology topics include, but are not limited to small spacecraft networks and constellations, inter-satellite links, advances in flight and ground instrumentation, space clock technologies, novel architectures including optical links, advances in radio and laser technologies, and new techniques and instrumentation for entry probes.
