| Session Description | This is a joint session between Planetary Science (PS) and Solar Terrestrial (ST) Sections. This session is devoted to scientific instrumentation and measurement techniques for all aspects of Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Exploration. This session also deals with Space Missions that will be launched in the near future or are being planned for the future. Also ground-based equipments dedicated to planetary science, such as small tetescope, are covered. Our goal is to promote discussions and dialogs among instrument scientists and engineers as well as other researchers in the two disciplines. We particularly welcome contributions on new instrumentation and related mission concepts and enabling technologies, as well as those on instruments currently in space or near launch state. Contributions on design principles, miniaturization, shared use of subsystems, component selection, and instrument calibration are also welcomed. |
