Keynote Presentations on Perspectives on the Future of Planetary Exploration

The purpose of these presentations were to outline a vision of the future of scientific exploration of the solar system over approximately the next 1–2 decades, including science goals and objectives that may require new planetary instruments and measurement techniques.

Open Source Instrument Database

As a part of the conference, an open source instrument database has been developed as a community resource. This searchable and editable database contains brief descriptions of instruments, the measurements they make, and estimates for their masses, volumes, and power needs (where known). Each database entry also points to a contact person and a literature source. This database is intended to help instrument builders advertise their instruments to mission planners and to help mission planners become aware of what cutting edge planetary instruments are capable of.
