Lecture: Unseen but Measured: Carbon-I's Global Mapping of Trace Gases

Over its planned three-year mission, Carbon-I would create the first global maps of CH₄, CO₂, and CO at sub-kilometer scales, revealing both natural and human-driven emission processes and providing the observational foundation needed to close critical carbon-budget gaps. This talk will outline the mission concepts, how the team got there and paths forward.

September
22 - 26

Workshop: Interplanetary Laser Trilateration Network

The goal of this study program is to develop plans for a future planetary geodesy measurement protocol that would improve the state of the art for planetary ranging by up to three orders of magnitude, using a triad of spacecraft with laser communications deployed in orbit around Venus, Earth, and Mars.
