Background:
Space observatories and survey missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Hubble, GAIA, and EUCLID have made substantial contributions to the field of planetary research. These missions have not only expanded our understanding of the universe but have also provided invaluable data that have led to significant discoveries in planetary science. However, the potential of these missions could be further enhanced by integrating planetary science objectives early in their development and preparation phases.
Objective:
The proposed debate aims to explore strategies to strengthen the importance of planetary science in the early stages of astronomy missions. By bringing together experts in the field, we can discuss how to better integrate planetary science goals into the planning and development of future space observatories and survey missions.
