Creative Measurement, Analysis, and Mission Design Approaches for Solar System Bodies and Environments: Increasing Science Value in Space Exploration
Convener: Heidi Becker | Co-conveners: Michel Blanc, Mathias Benn

This session addresses novel measurement, data analysis, and mission design approaches for the exploration of Solar System atmospheres, bodies, ring systems, and magnetospheres. It includes such approaches as the opportunistic use of spacecraft assets to acquire bonus science, dual-use or multi-use instrument technologies, innovative measurement and analysis techniques, and creative solutions to increase science operations efficiency. Presentations are also encouraged on the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning within all aspects of planetary science: from tackling large or complex data sets or models, to the use of AI within instruments, flight systems, or mission design. Results from past successes, lessons learned, current implementations, and inventive ideas for the future are welcome.
