Radar Sounding Using the Cassini Altimeter: Waveform Modeling and Monte Carlo Approach for Data Inversion of Observations of Titan's Seas
2016
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Recently, the Cassini RADAR has been used as a sounder to probe the depth and constrain the composition of hydrocarbon seas on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. ...
The time interval between these two peaks is a measure of sea depth, and the attenuation from the propagation through the liquid is a measure of the dielectric properties, which is a sensitive property ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors would like to thank the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for providing the CPAD SW Tool developed by CORISTA to process the Cassini radar data in altimeter mode. ...

Exploring the surface of Titan
2021
Concepts for spacecraft to perform in-situ measurements on Titan are reviewed, as is the development of the NASA/ESA Cassini mission, how the mission constrains scientific investigations, and in turn how ...
A key subtopic of the thesis addresses the theme of planetary exploration as a whole, with the interaction between and the limitations of the exploration 'triad' of observations, insitu measurements and ...

Abstracts from the Second Astrobiology Science Conference
2002
International Journal of Astrobiology
Calculations of pO 3 as a function of pO 2 has been done previously by Schindler & Kasting 1 but the temperature profiles in that model were not computed self-consistently. ...
In our coupled model, the photochemical code is based on the work by Schindler & Kasting. 1 The temperature profiles rely on a visible\near-IR radiative-transfer (RT) algorithm from Schindler & Kasting ...

Tidal deformation of planets and satellites
2018
At cross-over locations of the ground tracks, which canbe derived from the spacecraft trajectory, the tidal deformation can be retrieved by a differential height measurement. ...
The measurement of h2 is further complicated by only small variations of the tidal potential and by Mercury's slow rotation rate. ...
