P23A:
Physical Properties of Small Solar System Bodies, from the Near-Earth to the Trojan Populations I Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 32203

Session Description:
The composition and physical properties of Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs), remnants of the protoplanetary nebula, are key to better understand our solar system. Increased knowledge of their surface properties and their potential as resources are also necessary to prepare for robotic and human exploration. Hints about the internal structure and composition of SSSBs have been acquired recently thanks to flyby/rendezvous data from space missions and study of complex multiple asteroid systems. This session will discuss information on the geophysical processed, the internal structure and the composition of SSSBs based on space and ground-based data, numerical models, as well as instrument/mission concepts in the prospect of future exploration. A special emphasis on the exploration of different aspects of the Trojan population with the development of new missions like Lucy (selected NASA next Discovery mission) and future JAXA innovative Solar Power Sail mission with a Trojan Lander will be discussed.
