P21G:
Ultraviolet Observing of Solar System Targets I Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 52746

Session Description:
Ultraviolet spectroscopy and imaging have a decades-long history as valuable  techniques for studying atmospheres, aurorae, plumes, and surface composition and volatiles on asteroids, comet nuclei and moons. While there continue to be opportunities for UV remote sensing from Earth orbit and in future robotic missions, the infrastructure for UV instrumentation is at a crossroads. Existing orbital facilities are nearing the end of their useful lives and there continue to be many phenomena that cannot be effectively studied with existing, high-heritage instrument designs.   Exciting advances in UV-focused technologies promise new capabilities that can be incorporated into the next generation of robotic probes, flexible SmallSat missions, and large aperture space-based observatories. This session welcomes abstracts covering UV science results, as well as reports on progress toward developing new technologies such as UV detector technologies, high performance coatings, and novel sensor designs.
