  1. Europlanet RIA network for all planetary scientistsA service to the community Manuel Grande Scientific Dissemination Coordinator EC grant agreement no 228319

  2. A unique opportunity!

  3. Provide support to the optimal use of data from past and present space missions by the broadest possible science community Provide support to the preparation of future planetary missions : Earth-based preparatory observations, laboratory studies, R and D on advanced instrumentation and exploration technologies, theory and modelling, … Bridge the gap between past/present space missions and those for the next generation Our responsibility and our goal: 3

  5. EPSC is the platform of the Europlanet Research infrastructure It’s a self standing meeting organised by Copernicus, where Europlanet does its business 80 sessions (70 2011) 1900 Abstracts ? attendees

  6. Technology Foresight – Planetary Detectors Tue PM • Press office (Anita Heward, anitaheward@btinternet.com

  7. Technology foresight workshops • The European planetary community lacks a clear path for identifying the technology needed for future planetary exploration. where European instrument capabilities can be married to planetary exploration science requirements. • We organise a series of workshops aimed at identifying roadmaps for key technologies

  8. Technology foresight workshops Previous: • Planetary Robotics • Planetary Cartography • Detectors for Planetary Science

  9. MX andCluster RAPID

  10. X-ray Spectrometer on SMART-1 and Chandrayaan -1 1 The Sun shines on the Moon (in X rays) 2 The Moon fluoresces 3 Each X-ray energy indicates unambiguously the abundance of a particular element in the surface 4 CIXS used two new technologies to detect these X-rays So we could measure what the Moon is made of Sun Shines in X-rays

  11. C1XS

  12. Technology foresight workshops Need to match up science requirements with available technologies - Galileo: • But mustn’t forget that the science is primary

  13. Questions • What are the major science drivers for the next 20 years? (i.e. from now to 2030) • How will science instrumentation change over the next 20 years? • What methods will we need to address these science challenges (Resolution, radiation Hardness, readout speed etc.)? • What are the priority robotic technologies that we must invest in now to meet these future science challenges? • What are the priority constituent technologies that we must invest in now to meet these future science challenges? (e.g. materials technology, computing, etc.) • Are there nearer term technologies that we can significantly improve, and how? • What will the planetary detector technology road-map look like from now to 2030?
