We will hold the ISAS Planetary Exploration Workshop from 2nd (Mon) to 4th (Wed) September, 2024.
The coming years are going to be revolutionary for space exploration with research efforts leaning towards more and more complex mission concepts and designs, with an envisioned goal of human exploration on both the Moon and Mars in a few decades. Mars and the Moon, as well as other small bodies in the inner Solar System are favourable targets to answer key questions about the water transport and delivery in the Solar System, the origin and evolution of life and also the detection of extraterrestrial life. We would like to create a world where Japanese technology can open up new interdisciplinary science for tomorrow and Seven for decades from now.
The purpose of this workshop is to present the latest research results from both science and engineering that match impactful interdisciplinary science and enabling technologies that will lead to future new mission proposals. One of the other purposes of this workshop is to build a cross-sectoral team across universities, international organizations, and JAXA that will lead to mission proposals to help create our own exploration roadmap for the next few years or even future decades. In addition, there will be splinter meetings, which are forums for general discussion toward the realization of such future missions. The Session Organizing Committee (SOC) will lead the discussions on the exploration targets and novel exploration technologies (see here for a summary of last year's splinter meeting ). As a final output of this workshop, we aim to establish working groups for upcoming S-class or/and M-class mission proposals. We look forward to the active participation of young researchers and postdoctoral fellows who will be responsible for the planetary exploration missions in a few decades' time.
The venue is X-NIHONBASHI TOWER in Tokyo, which is more accessible from distant locations. We will have a social networking party at the end of the 2nd day. On the 3rd day, we will have a discussion-based face-to-face workshop. Although it will be a hybrid event, we hope that many people will be able to participate in lively face-to-face discussions.
