KISS studies convene experts from Caltech, JPL, and the wider space community to develop ideas and concepts that can revolutionize space science and engineering.
As the United States and its international partners prepare to expand human and robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond, the need for precise, autonomous timekeeping and navigation has become critical. Current approaches rely on…
In recent decades, astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets, some like planets within our solar system, others unlike anything in our solar system. The sample thus far exhibits significant diversity and represents an opportunity to advance…
While the use of microwave links from Earth-based microwave antennas within the Deep Space Network (DSN), have well served planetary geodesy, navigation, and exploration for more than 50 years, changes associated with an interplanetary laser trilateration…
Advancing astronomical discovery requires embracing new approaches that accelerate development, reduce costs, and expand access to space telescopes. By adopting more agile, cost-effective designs, and standardization we can build on the revolutionary insights of observatories like…
We aim to study hybrid ground-space observatories by integrating ground-based telescopes equipped with adaptive optics, and optical components placed in suborbital or orbital locations. This innovative approach revolutionizes the field of astronomy, driving significant advancements across…
The lunar surface is a compelling opportunity for large, distributed optical facilities, with advantages over orbital facilities for high-spatial-resolution scientific applications. Serious development of mission concepts is timely because of the confluence of two compelling factors:…
The workshop on “Metasurfaces for Exoplanet Detection and High-Contrast Imaging” aims to convene a diverse group of researchers, including end-users, designers, fabricators, and metrology experts, to explore and advance the application of metasurface optics in the…
Now that astronomers are routinely probing the composition and evolution of exoplanet atmospheres, the fields of astrophysics, heliophysics, and exoplanetary science must devote greater attention to the particle environments of planets, i.e., space weather. Particles, although…
The direct detection and spectral characterization of exoplanets presents an enormous challenge due to the sensitivity, spatial resolution, and starlight suppression needed to separate a planet’s signature from the much larger signal from the host star.…
