What's new.
About the Conference
It is high time to explore Jupiter Trojan asteroids and the outer solar system with the new
technology such
as Solar Powered Sail spacecraft under detailed study at JAXA, and extraordinary demand has risen
and
deep insight into the early solar system and its evolution is expected. Any scientist and engineer
is
welcome to participate in this workshop. Especially those who are interested in Solar System Origin
and
the Evolution, Primitive Bodies, Science in the Outer Solar System, and Sample Return Missions from
Primitive Bodies are strongly encouraged to join the workshop.
Date
July 2-4, 2016
Location
Sagamihara Campus was opened in April 1989 as the main facility of the former ISAS. Amid
quiet surroundings with a view of Tanzawa Mountains in the distance,
the campus contains the Research/Administraion Bulidings, the Environmental Test Building (for
development and testing of onboard equipment for rockets and satellites), the Experiment
Facility Building, etc

Comment by Working Group Scientist
Origin and evolution of the Earth and the life on it, as well as the early
solar system, is one of the fundamental questions for the human beings. A
clue to the answer will be found by direct observations of primitive
bodies, especially the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Now there will be an
opportunity to visit and explore the world in the outer solar system with
new technologies in the Solar Powered Sail mission. All the scientists and
engineers who are interested are welcomed to participate this workshop and
discuss about the science and exploration for understanding the early
solar system evolution and exploiting our new frontier.
