Dr. Lewis will discuss the methods used to detect exoplanets, analyze recent results, and provide a look forward to future observations that will help us to answer the question “Are we alone in the Universe?”
A private donor supporting space science and engineering at Caltech has made it possible to solicit an opportunity through the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) to fund 1 grant totaling $85k (direct cost) to carry out technical development efforts.
The Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) is soliciting proposals for Study Programs to be carried out during the 2022 calendar year. Proposals are solicited in the areas of space engineering, planetary science, remote sensing and earth system science, astrobiology, and astronomy and physics from space.
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.
