The Mars 2020 mission will seek the signs of ancient life on Mars and will identify, prepare,
document, and cache a set of samples for possible return to Earth by a follow-on mission …

Advanced thermal systems designed and fabricated through paraffinic phase change
materials have emerged quite fast until recently. However, most of the prior works have …

The Galilean moons play major roles in the giant magnetosphere of Jupiter. At the same
time, the magnetospheric particles and fields affect the moons. The impact of …

The plasma science (PLS) instrument on the Galileo spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter from
December 1995 to September 2003) measured properties of the ions that were trapped in …

Jupiter's satellite auroral footprints are a consequence of the interaction between the Jovian
magnetic field with co‐rotating iogenic plasma and the Galilean moons. The disturbances …

With attention turned to Europa as a target for exploration, we focus on the space
environment in which Europa is embedded. We review remote and in situ observations of …

During the last decades micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) have been subject to
intensive research. In many cases active components, eg, for regulating fluid flow or …

The existence of planetary radiation belts with relativistic electron components means that
powerful acceleration mechanisms are operating within their volume. Mechanisms that bring …

Jupiter's Galilean satellite Io is one of the most remarkable objects in our Solar System. The
tidal heating Io undergoes through its orbital resonance with Europa and Ganymede has …

The relationship between electron energy flux and the characteristic energy of electron
distributions in the main auroral loss cone bridges the gap between predictions made by …
