| Abstract: |
The Instrumentation Technology Development Panel has attempted
to identify the areas of recent innovations and continuing deficiencies
in instrument technology as it pertains to planetary science goals
and missions. Collaboration between science and technology aspects of
all planetary science disciplines is crucial to the success of this task. We
conclude that the technology advances most necessary for the success of
future missions (Mars Sounders, Europa Orbiter, Venus Landers, Titan
Landers) are increased downlink capacity (i.e., Deep Space Network),
improvements in radiation hardened and extreme temperature electronics,
increased aperture sizes for radio science, on-board processing power, and
increased collaboration with principle investigators. |
