This workshop will conceive the mission architecture to access the Martian surface (entry-descent-landing; EDL), conduct efficient operations of multiple Mars assets, and synthesize results from the working groups to identify paths for moving forward.
This is the second workshop in the series of next-generation planetary geodesy workshops. We will focus on studying the formation and evolution of the Martian crust and lithosphere as well as how geodetic data will inform us of the geodynamic regime and habitability of Europa and Enceladus.
The goal of the workshop is to develop new concepts for in situ sample capture missions, where samples from the Venusian surface or lower atmosphere are delivered to an “airborne laboratory” for analysis.
