SMW1.2

SPICE is an information system that uses ancillary data to provide Solar System geometry information to scientists and engineers for planetary missions in order to plan and analyze scientific observations from space-born instruments. SPICE is developed and maintained by the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) team of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA). NAIF and the ESA SPICE Service (ESS) provide SPICE Training Courses on a yearly basis, these are three-day courses which are hosted either nearby Pasadena (California, USA) or nearby Madrid (Spain).

ESS offers a training session on SPICE aimed at scientists and engineers who want to be introduced to SPICE or who might be considering attending a complete SPICE Training.

During this course a brief introduction to SPICE will be provided and it will be followed by a practical hands-on lesson of a SPICE application based on a remote sensing observation scenario. We will also go through WebGeocalc, SPICE-Enhanced Cosmographia 3D Visualization Software and some Python packages.

The envisaged agenda for the Seminar will be:

1-Introducing SPICE the cool way: Cosmographia.
2-Cosmographia & WebGeocalc demo
3-Brief introduction to ESS and SPICE Kernels 4-Questions & Answers 5-Remote Sensing Hands-on lesson 6-Questions & Answers and close-out

Training Material: All the training material will be provided with GitHub, using the ESS account: https://github.com/esaSPICEservice/ material will be provided as reference documents and with Jupyter Notebooks.

SMW1.3

The aim of the splinter session is to make the attendees familiar with and as autonomous as possible with Rosetta archive data, so that they can quickly carry out their own cometary science studies. The target audience is cometary and small body scientists, as well as members of the broader planetary community to make them aware of the data products available in the Rosetta archive, to promote usage of that data. The workshop will begin with a short presentation of the ESA Planetary Science Archive as a whole and on the Rosetta archive in particular. This will be followed by presentations from a few select instrument teams who will give a brief overview of their archive data, to provide instrument level insights into data access. Following this, we aim to have a more interactive section which will focus on a published event which will allow attendees to gain experience in interacting with the archive data.
NOTE: We have selected Tuesday around lunchtime, but we would like to avoid running parallel with any small body session if possible, due to that limiting availability of Rosetta scientists to present their archive data access.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST; http://lsst.org) is an 8-meter, wide-field, ground-based survey program that will survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands from 320 to 1050 nm. The LSST telescope is currently being constructed at Cerro Pachón, Chile, with first light expected in 2020 and start of survey operations in late 2022.

The LSST is slated to make a significant contribution to the study of the Solar System, delivering over a billion highly precise observations of millions of Solar System objects (5mmag photometry and 10mas astrometry, per observation, at the bright end). Current estimates show yields ranging from ~100,000 new discoveries of nearby NEOs, to 5.5 million for the main belt, and ~40,000 for KBO populations. The majority of these objects will receive hundreds of observations in multiple bandpasses.

This dataset presents tremendous opportunities for Solar System science. This meeting will overview the science possibilities, report on project status and expected data products, and discuss how to get involved in preparations for science with LSST.

Saturn (Room 2)
SMW1.6

Recent results ranging from the Pluto system, the Saturn system, other locations beyond ~5 AU, all the way to Mercury in the inner Solar System, and nearly all points in between, raise questions abut the state of carbon in the Solar System: how do carbonaceous compounds become weathered in response to thermal processes and irradiation? How do we recognize carbon compounds and their various weathering products? The synthesis of these results improves our scientific understanding of the role of carbon in the Solar System, how it evolves and how to recognize it. Analyses of samples from the carbonaceous near-Earth asteroids 162173 Ryugu and 101955 Bennu will provide context for the presence of carbon. In this workshop, please come prepared to discuss observational, laboratory and modeling work related to carbon and carbonaceous species on Solar System bodies.

ARIEL, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was selected as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme. During its 4-year mission, ARIEL will study what exoplanets are made of, how they formed and how they evolve, by surveying a diverse sample of about 1000 extrasolar planets, simultaneously in visible and infrared wavelengths. It is the first mission dedicated to measuring the chemical composition and thermal structures of hundreds of transiting exoplanets, enabling planetary science far beyond the boundaries of the Solar System.

ARIEL has launched in April 2019 a global competition series to find innovative solutions for the interpretation and analysis of exoplanet data (https://ariel-datachallenge.azurewebsites.net).

The first ARIEL Data Challenge invites professional and amateur data scientists around the world to use Machine Learning (ML) to remove noise from exoplanet observations caused by star-spots and by instrumentation.
A second ARIEL Data Challenge that focuses on the retrieval of spectra from simulations of cloudy and cloud-free super-Earth and hot-Jupiter data was also launched in April. A further data analysis challenge to create pipelines for faster, more effective processing of the raw data gathered by the mission will be launched in June at the EWASS conference in Lyon.

Outcomes from all three ARIEL Data Challenges will be discussed in a dedicated splinter at the EPSC-DPS Joint Meeting 2019.

The Space Studies Board (SSB) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and the Planetary Science Division (PSD) of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate invites participants in 2019 DPS/EPSC meeting to a discussion on the current state of planning for the next decadal survey in planetary science, scheduled to be initiated in the first quarter of 2020.

The decadal survey is the process through which the U.S. planetary science community identifies the key scientific issues ripe for progress in the coming decade and provides recommendations as to how these issues may be addressed by spacecraft missions, supporting ground based activities and other initiatives.

Lori S. Glaze (PSD) and David H. Smith (SSB) will provide an overview of the progress made towards preparing for and organizing the survey, along with an updated schedule for its implementation.

Community involvement is an essential feature of all phases of the decadal process and a critical component to the success of the survey. The SSB and PSD welcomes all community input on matters facing the next survey, which include (but are not limited to) the technical and programmatic scope, structure, the cost and technical evaluation process, the role of early-career scientists, and the international context.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will have unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution, and will be the next premier space-based facility for near- and mid-infrared astronomy (0.6-28.5 micron). The 6.5-meter telescope will be equipped with four state-of-the-art instruments which include imaging, spectroscopy, and coronagraphy capabilities. These instruments, along with the telescope’s moving target capabilities, will enable remarkable infrared studies of Solar System objects. JWST is scheduled for launch in March 2021 and is an international collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
The first call for General Observer (GO) proposals will be released in January 2020, with a submission deadline on 1 May 2020. This will be the last proposal workshop prior to Cycle 1 offered at the annual DPS and EPSC meetings, so we encourage all future observers to participate.
In this workshop, we will provide a brief status update on the observatory as well as commissioning plans relevant to Solar System observations, will review the timeline for proposals, and will provide details about the Guaranteed Time Observer (GTO) and Early Release Science (ERS) programs for Solar System science. We will also give a detailed orientation to the proposal planning system, including demonstrations o f the Astronomer’s Proposal Tool (APT) and the Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) relevant for Solar System proposals.

When should we start teaching astronomy to children? Is it useful to start in kindergarten or primary school? Do children make use of such knowledge later? Does this knowledge have an effect on children?
Are natural science hands-on sessions better than films on TV or cartoons? What happens if all children want to be astronomers or astronauts? Could we use astronomy as a motivation factor when teaching natural sciences?

We will have a lively discussion and a guest sharing her experiences with small children. FREE COPIES of a book about the topic will be distributed for those interested.
Pre-registration is recommended due to space limitations, at dosa.melinda@wigner.mta.hu.

SMW2 – Splinter meetings & workshops (by invitation only)

SMW2.1

The JUICE and Clipper teams host a second workshop to discuss the status of both missions (including their trajectory updates), to share information on science plans and capability of both missions, and to identify synergistic investigations and collaborations. One key question is to understand how the science of interest if both missions are in the Jupiter system at the same time and how we can best leverage the science investigations if the missions are not in the Jupiter System at the same time. We expect specific talks and discussions to cover the following topics:
- Callisto science, including magnetic induction, gravity, and surface remote sensing;
- Complementary remote-sensing and in-situ observations of Europa’s surface, atmosphere, any plumes, and space environment;
- Spacecraft Impact at the end of either mission (e.g. one spacecraft monitoring the other as it impacts onto Ganymede);
- Improving the ephemerides of the Galilean satellites to constrain orbital evolution and tidal heating.
- Monitoring of Jupiter’s auroral activity by one spacecraft while the other makes remote-sensing and/or in-situ observations at one of the moons.
Other discussion topics are obviously possible.

Comet Interceptor is a mission proposed to ESA, with contributions from Japan and the USA, in response to the agency's F-class call. The mission would involve a spacecraft and two sub-spacecraft being targeted at either a comet approaching the Sun for the first time, or an interstellar object passing through our solar system. ESA will announce the selected mission in July 2019, and, if our proposal is successful, EPSC provides a perfect and invaluable opportunity to hold a short team meeting post-selection, and to inform the wider planetary science community of our plans for the mission.

Public information:
An invitation-only meeting for members of the ESA Comet Interceptor mission team.
