Produktbeschreibung

Planetary Exploration Horizon 2061: A Long-Term Perspective for Planetary Exploration synthesizes all the material elaborated and discussed during three workshops devoted to the Horizon 2061 foresight exercise. Sections cover the science of planetary systems, space missions to solar system objects, technologies for exploration, and infrastructures and services to support the missions and to maximize their science return. The editors follow the path of the implementation of a planetary mission, from the needed support in terms of navigation and communication, through the handling of samples returned to Earth, to the development of more permanent infrastructures for scientific human outposts on the Moon and Mars.

This book also includes a special chapter entirely devoted to contributions from students and early-career scientists: the "Horizon 2061 generation¿ and a final chapter on important avenues for the actual implementation of the planetary missions coming out of our "Dreams for Horizon 2061¿: International cooperation, and the growing role and initiatives of private enterprise in planetary exploration.

• Provides a logical link between scientific questions and the technologies needed to thoroughly address them
• Organized chapters present a logical road map of subjects, while also stimulating a cross-disciplinary understanding of the scientific and technical challenges of planetary exploration
• Contains illustrations and tables that capture and synthesize knowledge of a broad readership

Autorenporträt

Prof. Michel Blanc is a planetary scientist working at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP), Toulouse and for part of his time at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM), France. His research focuses on Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere coupling at the different solar system planets and on the comparative study of Planetary Systems. He has been the first coordinator of the Europlanet program of the European Union from 2005 to 2012. He currently leads the "Planetary Exploration, Horizon 2061¿ foresight exercise. He has been an Interdisciplinary Scientist on the Cassini-Huygens mission, the initiator of the Laplace mission proposal to ESA which led to the selection of JUICE and is currently a co-Investigator on NASA's Juno mission. He has published about 200 articles in peer-reviewed international journals. He is a full member of the Air and Space Academy, of the International Academy of Astronautics, and of the Academia Europaea.
