Second Announcement of the Technologies and Infrastructures Workshop for Planetary Exploration, Horizon 2061

Dear Colleagues:

This is the second announcement of the Technologies and Infrastructures Workshop for Planetary Exploration, Horizon 2061, which will take place on April 23-25, 2018, in the SwissTech Convention center on the campus of EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland.

To ensure a great meeting the deadline of paper submission (Talks/Posters) has been extended to March 6, 2018 at:
