[P-PS01] Outer Solar System Exploration Today, and Tomorrow

Thu. May 25, 2023 1:45 PM - 3:00 PM 106 (International Conference Hall, Makuhari Messe)

convener:Jun Kimura(Osaka University), Kunio M. Sayanagi(NASA Langley Research Center ), Fuminori Tsuchiya(Planetary Plasma and Atmospheric Research Center, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University), Chairperson:Kunio M. Sayanagi(NASA Langley Research Center), Jun Kimura(Osaka University)

The giant planets provide many keys to understanding planetary processes. They play an important role in shaping our solar system, and the physical and chemical processes they harbor also provide a unique opportunity to study the phenomena relevant for studying Earth and other planets, including exoplanetary systems. In this session, we discuss a wide range of topics encompassing the giant planets and their moons, including their origins, interiors, atmospheres, compositions, surface features, and electromagnetic fields. To advocate for current and future outer planets exploration (Juno, New Horizons, JUICE, Europa Clipper, Dragonfly and beyond), we also call for discussions on future missions to explore giant planet systems, including how to develop better international cooperation. Discussion in this latter category will include progress in developing a solar sail mission concept for observing the Jupiter system and its Trojan asteroids. We also solicit presentations about new scientific results generated using data returned by space telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
