Solar System Exploration: Ground-based and Space-Mission Observations
SolarSystem1
This session focuses on both ground-based and space-based exploration of the Solar System. The Solar System continues to be our best studied planetary system, with our ability to send space missions to get up close views of these bodies and observe thousands of Solar System minor planets with wide-field and targeted ground-based and space-based surveys. Understanding how the Solar System formed and evolved to its present state remains a key pursuit in astronomy. The reservoirs of small bodies in addition to the 8 planets and their satellites serve both as relics of planet formation, recording the Solar System history, and as dynamic worlds, revealing the changing Solar System. This session welcomes all presentations focused on the current and future studies of the Solar System's planets, from their interiors, atmospheres, and magnetospheres, to their diverse satellite and ring systems; planetesimals residing within the Solar System; or interstellar objects - temporary residents passing through the Solar System on their voyage within the Galaxy.
