We solicit new results from planetary missions, or design studies that target planetary bodies inside or outside of our solar system, with a special focus on science that can only be achieved through international cooperation. This includes mission concepts that identify room for internationally contributed science investigations, and instrument concepts that could be contributed to international missions. A topical interest of our session is the science addressed by mission concepts proposed to NASA’s Discovery Program in early 2015.

We also solicit concepts for missions and instruments that respond to the next New Frontiers call, for which an Announcement of Opportunity is expected in 2016.

Deadline to submit an abstract: 5 August 2015, 11:59 P.M. EDT
