KISS studies convene experts from Caltech, JPL, and the wider space community to develop ideas and concepts that can revolutionize space science and engineering.
Future space exploration missions will increasingly depend on autonomy not as a convenience, but as an operational necessity. Missions to distant worlds such as Europa, subsurface explorers operating beneath ice shells, swarms of aerial or terrestrial…
This study brings together experts from across science, engineering, and the emerging commercial space sector to tackle a central challenge: how to make ambitious Moon and Mars science missions dramatically more affordable and achievable in the…
For centuries, humanity has looked to the skies with curiosity and wonder, seeking to understand whether we are alone in the universe. While that question remains unanswered, our solar system offers tantalizing clues—oceans beneath icy crusts,…
The surface and subsurface of any worlds beyond Mars still remain unexplored or underexplored. Yet it is these worlds that hold the key to some of the greatest questions in planetary science – for example, the…
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 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…
This study will evaluate the science case for, and feasibility of, returning samples from the surface, atmosphere, and/or plumes of planetary bodies all across the Solar System, from Mercury to Kuiper Belt Objects beyond Pluto’s orbit.…
