KISS studies convene experts from Caltech, JPL, and the wider space community to develop ideas and concepts that can revolutionize space science and engineering.
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:…
A Digital Twin is a real-time virtual representation of a physical object, system, or process connected to its environment, which is dynamically updated with data from its physical twin throughout its lifecycle. While relatively new to…
To respond to climate change effectively, we need better information about how planetary ecosystems are responding to changes in the environment through carbon-climate feedbacks. There are several dedicated greenhouse gas missions, current and planned, focussed on…
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.…
Asteroid 99942, also known as Apophis, will make a close approach to Earth on April 13, 2029, coming within 31,860 kilometers of Earth (within the geostationary belt), presenting a unique opportunity to study its characteristics and…
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…
