session 5

Title: Solar System Exploration including Ocean Worlds
type: oral
Description: This session covers robotic missions for Solar System exploration (inner and outer planets and their satellites, and space plasma physics) except the Earth, Moon, Mars, and small bodies covered in other sessions of this symposium. Special emphasis on papers addressing missions to so-called Ocean Worlds (Enceladus, Europa, Titan) is sought. Papers covering both new mission concepts as well as the associated specific technologies are invited.
