International Planetary Probe Workshop 2010 (IPPW-7)
Start date: 15 Jun 2010
Address: Hotel Alimara,
Barcelona, Spain
Key objectives of this seventh annual International Planetary Probe Workshop include fostering international involvement in planetary exploration with probes and engaging the next generation of scientists and engineers in this exciting field. The workshop offers the opportunity to explore technological challenges and scientific opportunities associated with entry, descent, landing and flight in planetary atmospheres with fellow scientists, technologists, engineers, mission designers, policy-makers and students interested in the exploration of solar system bodies with substantial atmospheres.
Building on previous successes, the workshop will promote international cooperation in probe missions to solar system moons and planets with atmospheres and provide students - the next generation of planetary scientists - and spacecraft engineers, an opportunity to participate.
