In the past decade, there has been a tendency to design and fabricate drones which can
perform planetary exploration. Generally, there are various ways to study space objects …

Serpentinization involves the hydrolysis and transformation of primary ferromagnesian
minerals such as olivine ((Mg, Fe) 2SiO4) and pyroxenes ((Mg, Fe) SiO3) to produce H2-rich …

Data acquired by the Galileo magnetometer on five passes by Ganymede have been used
to characterize Ganymede's internal magnetic moments. Three of the five passes were …

It has been proposed that Jupiter's satellite Europa currently possesses a global subsurface
ocean of liquid water. Galileo gravity data verify that the satellite is differentiated into an …

We examine formation conditions for the Galilean satellites in the context of models of late-
stage giant planet accretion and satellite-disk interactions. We first reevaluate the current …

The detection of induced magnetic fields in the vicinity of the jovian satellites Europa,
Ganymede, and Callisto is one of the most surprising findings of the Galileo mission to …

An ever-increasing concern over environmental degradation, together with recent
technological advances, has spawned an explosion of chemical data for a wide variety of …

In this chapter we discuss the structure, composition, and dynamical states of the interiors of
Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Interior structure and composition models of the …

The distribution of hot spots on Io's surface and Io's figure constrain models of Io's interior.
Voyager observations indicate that most hot spots and volcanic plumes are close to the …

Abstract The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) is a remote-sensing Fourier
Transform Spectrometer (FTS) on the Cassini orbiter that measures thermal radiation over …
