    7th International Planetary Probe Workshop

    Event Details:
    From: 14 Jun 2010  
    To: 18 Jun 2010  
    Address: Alimara Hotel
    Barcelona
    Country: Spain
    More info: Link to event website

    The goal of the workshop is to bring together scientists, technologists, engineers, mission designers, and policy makers interested in the exploration of Solar System bodies with atmospheres that allow the use of probes with parachutes. The workshop covers the technological challenges and scientific opportunities associated with entry, descent, landing and flight in planetary atmospheres.

    The IPPW-7 workshop will promote international cooperation in probe missions to Solar System moons and planets with atmospheres.

    Workshop sessions:

    1. Outlook for probe missions
    2. Probe missions: concepts, ongoing studies, and mission in-situ elements
    3. Planetary entry sensors, payloads, and systems
    4. Science from entry and descent probes
    5. Landing issues, target selection and trajectory reconstructions
    6. EDL technology developments
    7. New technologies
    8. High Mass EDL Technologies
    9. Drag, aerobraking and aerocapture techniques
    10. Closing session

    Immediately preceding the IPPW-7 workshop, a two-day short course, on Planetary Protection, will be held June 12-13.
