9TH INTERNATIONAL PLANETARY PROBE - WORKSHOPÂ

---

The 9th International Planetary Probe Workshop (IPPW-9) will be held in Toulouse, France on June 18-22, 2012. It will be hosted by ISAE (Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace) on its campus. The goal of the workshop is to bring together scientists, technologists, engineers, mission designers, and policy makers interested in the technological challenges and scientific opportunities in the exploration of Solar System using atmospheric entry and descent probes. The 9th workshop will build on the success of the previous workshops to promote international cooperation in probe missions to solar system bodies.

The list of session topics includes: Giants planets, Titan, Venus, Mars, Airless & Primitive Bodies, Science and technologies of probes, Landers and penetrators, Earth entry and Sample return technologies.

2012 promises to be an exciting edition, with the space community engaged in operating,  building or planning many exciting missions to the Moon, planets, their satellites, asteroids and comets. 2012 will see: the arrival of the long-waited Mars Science Laboratory in the Gale crater, together with the continued operation of the Mars Exploration Rover mission, and the Philae comet lander still on its way to its destination.
