Cometary science after Rosetta.
The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission ended operations on 30 September 2016 having spent over 2 years in close proximity to its target comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Shortly before this, in summer 2016, a discussion meeting was held to examine how the results of the mission could be framed in terms of cometary and solar system science in general. This paper provides a brief history of ...
متن کاملCometary Science: The Present and Future
The preceding chapters in this book have provided a comprehensive study of our present knowledge of comets, from the interstellar medium, through formation of the solar system and the present day, to the death of comets. This chapter will make no attempt to summarize the previous chapters. Rather, based on the material in the previous chapters, this chapter will ask about the high-level state o...
متن کاملActivity-Based Scheduling of Science Campaigns for the Rosetta Orbiter
Rosetta is a European Space Agency (ESA) cornerstone mission that entered orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014 and will escort the comet for a 1.5 year nominal mission offering the most detailed study of a comet ever undertaken by humankind. The Rosetta orbiter has 11 scientific instruments (4 remote sensing) and the Philae lander to make complementary measurements of...
متن کاملA registry framework and Rosetta attributes for distributed science
Information is shared within organizations and between organizations at an ever increasing rate. One system design that enables sharing in a distributed environment is a Virtual Observatory. AVirtual Observatory is built with clearly specified and standardized components. One essential component is a data model for the exchange of metadata. Well designed data models are compatible with the tene...
متن کاملTo Appear in the Rosetta Mission—space Science Review
We describe the design, performance and scientific objectives of the NASA-funded ALICE instrument aboard the ESA Rosetta asteroid flyby/comet rendezvous mission. ALICE is a lightweight, low-power, and low-cost imaging spectrograph optimized for cometary far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectroscopy. It will be the first UV spectrograph to study a comet at close range. It is designed to obtain spatially-re...
